This project aims at the construction and realization of colonies on Mars. There are many reasons why such colonies should be Independent from Earth regarding food, energy, material and breathable air.
Financial
First of all the transportation from Earth to Mars is very expensive. The investment of means to produce food from Martian resources is cheaper for a long term colony.
Technological
There is a technological risk of failure in the transport from Earth to Mars. In case the colony is not independent the logistics chain is vital for survival of the settlers. Any failure during transport can lead to a fatal shortage on food.
Energy is hard to store, and hence can not be brought to Mars in large amounts.
Slam dunkin like Shaiqlule O'Neal, if he wrote informative articles.
