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.

A million taknhs for posting this information.

Political

Only few people on Earth are really interested in space travel. Hence, the state's budget for space projects is small. In case the support from Earth stops some day due to political issues, the settlers are completely on their own.

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.
