As for living on Mars, terra-forming can grow plants to create an atmosphere that will alter the temperature, etc. Where there is a will, there is a way.

I don't think there was any altruistic or scientific motivation on the part of the Spanish Crown, not finding a shorter way to the orient they lucked out and raped, pillaged and plundered the native americans to their great proffit, as for growing plants it would take a huge amount of energy to keep spaces warm enough for plants to grow , lacking a magnetic field the solar wind would keep draining away your atmosphere and produce much more radiation than most plants could stand
