      It’s the only planet we can terraform (As in repairing some of the damage we’ve done), we are nowhere near able to terraform Mars, not even theoretically and disregarding cost.
      Maybe in a century we can. But only maybe.

          Hypothetically, we could terraform Venus.

          Mars is the best option we have, which is why I mentioned that. Venus already has selfenforcing runaway global warming, and we can’t even land a probe there, because the environment is extremely hostile.
          Mars is by far the easier option.
