While the economic and political ends are better explored than in most
proposals, ultimately the economics rest on the untenable assumption that
merely living on Mars would itself be worth a lot of money to an endless
flood of people able to pay said high price. It categorically rejects the
notion of trade with Earth: once any matter enters their system, it never
leaves.
This is not viable, no matter the amount of attention paid to the physical
infrastructure.
