Africa has been genocide central for a century. The history of mankind and before, been nothing but war, genocide, conquest and slavery... with only brief moments of peace. Genocides happen today... and no one cares. Little children are being butchered, crucified and sold as sex slaves as we speak and no one cares. The list of horrible brutalities we commit against each other daily could go on forever and no one cares.
Ignoring the realities of human behavior doesn't mean those realities don't exist and don't have to be addressed in such an endeavor.

Some people are pure animals I agree. That is not the case with everyone. Those who would choose to go to Mars are a special breed of person. Will there be a few issues? Surely. However they are not going up there to die in a month. they are going up there to spend their lives in the pursuit of something great.
IF their basic food and survival needs remain filled I am guessing there won't be a personal emergency that would endanger the mission. Someone goes crazy? You lock them up or medicate them.
Surely you can concede that some people are better than others. I think that it would be a great honour to go there and work on setting up a place where Humans can grow and thrive in the future. The first people there will be be famous through out history.
The ones who build massive domes there to house the livestock and the ones who build domes to keep the farms going. The miners who build housing units into the ground or into existing cliffs...etc etc
These people will be remembered in 5000 years. You and I will just be two nerds arguing on an internet board.
