Establishing a human colony from Earth seems to me a trade down.

Mars is smaller so less land is availible.

Mars has less gravity so succeeding generations of humans born and raised on Mars will be physically weaker than their human ancestors.

Other than trying to get the economy going I see no advantage in colonizing Mars.

We just be polluting somebody else's planet when we need to be fixing our own Earth.
 
Expanding into space is a crucial part in our survival, I would suggest checking out some of the points that michio kaku brings up in his books.
 
in case we almost destroy earth with nuclear weapons, we'll have a place to re-colonize
