Anticipating Advancement Into a Frontier Now, on Earth

Important reasons for Mars settlement stem from the cultural change millions of people living on another planet will catalyze here on Earth - simply by the fact of their thriving as a robust vibrant civilization on Mars. Settlements will need to educate every person to their fullest potential. Anticipation of such a society through depictions in film, concept art, mission plans, business proposals, fiction writing, etc., reenforces progressive cultural change now, here on Earth.
