Why in god's name would anyone want to live on mars? What job opportunities are there? Who would want to live in a dome all their life?

Again, how could it be possible to make a colony base on mars for cheaper than you could make a similar sized space colony? Ever hear of O'Neil cylinders? Real estate won't be an issue, and people usually choose to live in an area that's close to work. We don't even need o'neil cylinders.

You actually aren't the first person to think of this. here's some NASA artwork from the 70's.

Take this as a compliment: you thought up something NASA grade, even if you weren't the first to do it.
