To go to Mars?!!

"...Forward conceptual plans to establish a permanent human colony on Mars by 2025..."when I was reading this article I was like; what?!!! Well, lets be honest...have we done enough well in the planet earth yet? And what they have planned to do in Mars, to dig the planet to find oil or build an apartment?! I hope at least they have chosen right human being for this one way trip to Mars, people who will not end up eating each others meat for survival... I know, I am a bit suspicious.
