| ==Financial==
| |
| First of all the transportation from [[Earth]] to Mars is very [[financial effort estimation|expensive]]. The investment of means to produce food from Martian [[local resources|resources]] is cheaper for a long term colony.
| |
| | |
| ==Technological==
| |
| There is a technological risk of [[fail-safe|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.

| ==Sociological==
| |
| People like the idea to have their fate in their own hands. The [[motivation]] to set up a settlement with the ability to thrive indefinitely is great.
