Humans to Mars - NASA
Like the Moon, Mars is a rich destination for scientific discovery and a driver of technologies that will enable humans to travel and explore far from Earth.www.nasa.gov
you think they are mutually exclusive?
whereas you are just looking for an argument, as usual.
you are welcome to read the article
Space travel has all but stalled, if not gone backwards in terms of where we ought to be in distance from the Earth, type space travel. Yes, we can recycle water - on Earth. Yes we can load a spacecraft with enough provisions for a long journey - theoretically. Yes we can can load a spacecraft with enough fuel for a long journey - theoretically.
A quick scan of the thread, suggests you might have forgotten this bit

These hurdles will take several decades to refine, if they ever do. These are not necessarily scientific issues but real, life-ending obstacles that are not going to be swatted away with tech. We simply don't have the means to transport life huge distances from the Earth.
We can barely put together a Moon fly-past.
Interstellar space travel is impossible.
