The biggest challenges of space are 1: Gravity, 2: Air, and 3: Water. Humans will need to settle on a planet with similar gravity and atmosphere as Earth. We can bring oxygen and water to the planet and then create a bio-dome that feeds itself, to grow plants. Plant life needs sunlight to recycle the oxygen and water, so hopefully the target planet would have carbon dioxide or monoxide in the atmosphere already.
It is more probable that humans begin to terraform a planet in our solar system then to travel outside and find an earthlike planet.
Terraformation is the next step of human evolution.
Just as though crocodiles and gorillas 'stopped' evolving and stagnate, so too will the humans left behind on planet Earth. Evolution is a constant challenge and one that must be confronted. Just look at the 'oldest' civilizations of Earth: Greece, Egypt, Israel, Iraq, China, etc. They're stagnant, no future there, no hope, no faith. The best and brightest of humanity will continue to push the fold, exploration, on the edge of the known and unknown.

There's still literally billions of years left before the sun starts to expend, better to fix the economy first. And then even if the earth miraculously gets destroyed, a martian colony would not have the ability to expand or even survive with current technology without earth.

I would consider a prettier planet and also the company.

It's a star, it expands from its very beginning of existance.
Where do you see a miracle there? The fact that Earth will be destroyed by the Sun (unless something else would be enough destructive before) is obvious. No conspiracy theory there.
Martian colony may be considered a tutorial before colonizing other regions of universe. People must gain experience on colonizing something less distant, before they'll try to fight for the safety of humans.

Our future is in space travel. I would like to be a colonist at any attempt at settling other planets. It would be the equivalent of settlers to the Americas but without the injuns. You'd be remembered in history as being part of a grand enterprise that helped humanity take its next major step.

It starts to become a red giant when it stops burning hydrogen which will happen in billions of years.
Like I said, it will take billions of years before that happens, no reason to do it now.Where do you see a miracle there? The fact that Earth will be destroyed by the Sun (unless something else would be enough destructive before) is obvious. No conspiracy theory there.
A tutorial that will cost trillions upon trillions of dollars for an earth destruction senario that might never happen?Martian colony may be considered a tutorial before colonizing other regions of universe. People must gain experience on colonizing something less distant, before they'll try to fight for the safety of humans.
