The student approached the Master and said "He wants to put a million people on Mars by 2040! That's so amazing!"

The Master replied. "I have a better plan. I will put a million people on Antarctica by 2040."

"But that sounds fucking insane. Why would you want to do something that stupid? It's a barren wasteland that's difficult to populate and would provide us with absolutely nothing!"

At that moment, the student was enlightened.

@Rhodium103 That's what I've been wondering about, too.
While it may make sense to have autonomous human colonies on other planets in case of an impact, earth still seems an easier place to live on even after that because it has proper gravity, atmospheric pressure and lots of water.
I'm wondering what it would take to make earth less attractive than mars.
