Scientists have come to the conclusion that the colonization of Mars or even the Moon at the current level of development of science, and in particular medicine, is a utopia, which is not substantiated or justified by anything, except as an attempt by the relevant structures and companies, say, NASA, to get funds for development similar space programs or, as Elon Musk, the head of SpaceX Corporation, does, to attract attention. True, again with the prospect of making good money on this.
Space colonization requires a different level of medicine
The point is not even, the researchers argue, that the current level of development of technology is still too low for such colonizations, man himself, as a biological species of the Earth, is not adapted for life outside his home planet. This was proved by an experiment with a year stay on the ISS of the American astronaut Scott Kelly and the Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko. The first American enthusiasm about the positive changes that had occurred to Kelly in terms of a certain rejuvenation of the body, soon gave way to concern about the sharp deterioration in the astronaut's health. Approximately the same thing happened with Kornienko, who, unlike the Americans, does not hide anything and openly tells the press that he has become an incurable invalid (medicine does not yet know how to fix what space has "done").
Space, even the near one (the ISS is in the orbit of the Earth, and not somewhere in the open space of the Universe), practically kills a person. It would be more accurate to say that it kills the separation from the Earth, of which any terrestrial animal is a part.
Space colonization requires a different species

The second problem is reproduction in space. Indeed, to colonize, for example, Mars, you will need not just to fly in and fly away from the Red Planet, although this is still problematic, but to create a full-fledged settlement with subsequent reproduction. Firstly, experiments with mating animals in zero gravity indicate that this is impossible purely physically. Secondly, in experimental rats and mice, ovulation disappears, problems with the ovaries and other anomalies appear. All these problems will certainly await the colonists of Mars or the Moon.
As for Mars, at least five hundred people need to be sent there, since even with a successful mating on the Red Planet, a smaller number will lead to the degeneration of the species due to mixing of the blood of close relatives. And so far, at best, we can send several people to Mars - almost suicide bombers.
Space colonization requires contact with alien intelligence
Scientists-ufologists add to this that the colonization of the Moon, Mars or some other planet of the solar system will also necessarily be associated with the problem of countering this on the part of aliens (possibly Martians), about which orthodox science, including space science, is modestly silent - as if she is not. At the same time, back in the last century, the USA, together with the USSR, for some reason hastily curtailed their lunar programs after American astronauts had visited the moon.
It is hard to imagine, say ufologists, that the same Elon Musk or NASA employees do not know anything about this. They know, and much more than ordinary earthlings, even ordinary UFO researchers. So why is this race being fueled in space exploration and colonization of other planets? Is the question, as always (wars, revolutions, and so on), only about money? Someone is again trying to make big money on this, not taking into account the lives of those who fly to explore the Moon and Mars. About taxpayers' money, whom no one asks if they want to throw it into the cosmic wind and put it in the pockets of space moneybags, while, as always, they don't even stutter …
