> two big things that have to be accomplished before we can colonize Mars

Colonizers could probably live on packaged food from here 'til Judgment Day (or as long as Earth is willing to send always more supplies), but I would still add the maintenance of man-made ecosystems for food production to the list of big problems that we have not yet solved.




The biggest problem is not food, it's radiation.
