    This says nothing about colonization – only about crewed NASA missions. And:

    NASA never intended to seriously pursue HAVOC, instead using it as a development tool for analysis skills in young engineers.

    It was a pie-in-the-sky concept used as an engineering challenge.

    We prioritize Mars even though it’s farther than Venus and has lower gravity because you want to colonize the surface.
