We should leave Mars red and only set up scientific research stations there, like Antarctica, while we set up living spaces in large spinning space stations. That is the technology we need to develop.

The Mars society has been around for about 30 years, if it was a bunch of grifters they have been playing one of the longest cons in history.

The sky pictures or the space program?

Either one has nothing to do with the Mars society. They are not a government body, have never received (or even applied for) funding from any nation state.
