Better than what? Colonizing Earth? Well, we have to do better than this, because not living sustainable on Moon or Mars will lead a lot quicker to resource depletion than on Earth.

Karl Sipfle

Great point!

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Yes, it is highly probable that research bases on the Earth's Moon and Mars will be established by the middle of the 21st century. It will be a big step in technological advancement in space exploration. When this happens, the possibilities of colonizing these extraterrestrial environments will increase significantly.

No good. They will have war over mineral extraction, exterminate first settlers, and so on. Just like Spain looted Gold from Americas.
