Even if we were to establish a permanent largish base, they would be specialists only. It will always be expensive to get there and it’s always a long term stay in an expensive habitat with strict rules that someone has to pay for.
While I like the realism of The Expanse, I just don’t see the existence of a non-terrestrial lower class or even middle class: what could they possibly due to pay for any possible living costs. I do hope we’ll develop permanent bases throughout the solar system but it will be a few specialists and lots of robotics. Nothing else makes sense
Never. I don’t think large-scale habitation of Mars or any other planets will ever happen.
I sure as fuck hope not. I am unapologetically opposed to any and all space colonization.

The only sensible answer.
Even if we discovered unobtainium there, robots would do the mining.
