Not certain that Mars would be the best prospect for colonization.  It would take some terraforming and everything I have heard about it would mean that it would take centuries.

Titan and Europa might be more inhabitable.  Course, we haven't been to either so we just don't know.

In any event, at least we are into rockets again and are going to kick the space shuttles back.

The general Idea of the whole Mars subject is more to show how an idea like this overcomes the obstacles that are holding us up right now. One of the huge advantages to this whole thing is being able to go to and from the surface using a state of the art lander that is controlled from the Exodus. Science teams as large as 50-60 men and women can conduct study of the Martian surface. The lander drops off the next team and the first teams returns.
Cycling between 2, 3, 10 landers at a time would get more science done.


Secondly, we are dealing in quantum computing. We might be able to travel well beyond this solar system. To places light years away, Travel at the quantum level is not outside the realm of possibilities here. Mars is not as interesting as an Earth-like world in a different solar system. The exodus will be able to answer questions about space that we haven't even asked yet. It is self aware and almost alive. It's enviroment is space.
