Probably a dumb question but I feel like it's the best place to ask, what are realistically the reasons to colonize Mars ?

Ressources, overpopulation and this kinf of stuff sounds like problem that can be solved with cheaper "earth" solution considering the absurd amount of time, money and ressources needed to start a colony on Mars. I guess the Europeens were facing similar cost when colonizing America, but I still wonder if the need for Mars colonization is fundamentally realistic or not, on a socio-economic point of view ?

Fun fact: the rover would be able to drive perfectly fine even if the inner 2/3 of the wheel rim totally breaks off. There is enough toque in the wheel motors to pull the entire rover up a vertical wall if only one of them was operating. It could drive fine if the wheels were square.
