Unless we have totally sheltered cities and or space stations that can support life for long periods of time and a means of creating oxygen and simulating gravity .Some scientists think that water could be extracted from the poles of Mars and there's also some who want to mine asteroids.Plants could create oxygen and i think they are trying to grow them on the ISS iirc.
Earth won't last forever and we could be hit by an untracked asteroid at any time.
It would certainly be fun on Mars.You can jump huge distances.NASA don't yet know the effect Mars gravity would have on the human body over a lifetime.They know that zero gravity is not good for us but somewhere inbetween like Mars is totally unknown and it could be ok for us.It would certainly be better than zero gravity for sure.
