As far as the colonists, their conditions are worsening. The other day I received a email from a colonist. They can write on little data cards messages for folks back home and the resupply ships ferry them back every few months. Or at least used to. Now it's like once a year.
Anyways, this poor colonists skin condition has really deteriorated by the martian sun. The administration refuses to send any Bananna Boat on the last resupply. Sent them a half used bottle of bullfrog. Which was stolen by the martians because the frog on the bottle looks like one of their deities.
Anyways. they still use that same green screen in the background in the recorded video messages. Like I believe that's Peterson AFB in the background! They do such a bad job too. It's the same background on a loop every 30 seconds out the window behind him. It's like the whole administration just doesn't care.

Well, I made a phone call and got the scoop, so to speak.
Apparently 55 personal made it back early. There was a malfunction on one of the generators and food supplies where lost.
More are on the way back.
My contact stated that there are a little more than 3,000 personal currently on Mars with about 500 on the way back in stages.
Also, several babies have been born and a few of them are entering their teens already!
I really appreciate your support of the cause. Most people here don't give a frak about the colony, they just want to feed their curiosity and gain "insider information" so that they can look all cool and an-the-know.
I`m really heartbroken to hear about the worm-eating. Government misspending runs rampant but our intrepid heroes have to starve on Mars. The mililtary-industrial-complex is exploiting the mines on the dark side of Mars, but what benefit does the Colony get from it? Nothing.

I hope you see my point. I wanted to hear what you have to say about "Mars colonies"...because I'm certainly open to the idea, but you ignored my plea for anything substantial.
The plight of the colonists isnt substantial?
or what you, at your level of understanding consider substantial, I would have already said it. But I don't.
