Concerns Regarding Mars Colonization

I have been a fan of 4X Space Strategy games since before home Computers. Back then I believed we had sufficient technology to terraform Mars. I have grow up, matured, and my understanding has increased. I became increasingly dissatisfied of 4X game developers and designs that allowed for colonization of any and all planets in the galaxy, period! So I wrote a short story that basically expresses my thoughts on colonizing Mars let alone any other planet in the galaxy. Hope you enjoy.
