Counterpoint: with everything we know about air travel, space travel will be ten times as annoying. Let's construct the scenario:
The journey itself: you're on a journey to Mars, of course you're going to get the middle seat, stuck between a chatty person and a person who keeps falling asleep and leaning on you, for 7 months! Add a few screaming babies around.
When you get there, do you think you will just wander to the local village and have authentic food? It will be like an all inclusive resort where you're stuck inside a plastic bubble and the urine recycling machine breaks on the first day.
They will have a b-list celebrity from the 80s doing the entertainment and the buffet will be disappointing, and the hotel shop will sell overpriced Mars souvenirs that will break in a couple of hours.
The Germans will wake up early to take all the good spots on the local beach, the English well complain that the eggs don't taste as good as they are back home and, I bet you, there will be an Irish pub with a Martian twist. People will keep doing 'Space Oddity' for karaoke night
Donald Trump will build a massive golf course and ugly hotel tower. Disney will build a space-themed park. A Dubai company will build an Earth-themed resort on Mars where everything will look exactly like it does on Earth.
Just about the only interesting thing will be the Lebanese guy who will open a 'king of falafel' on the moon, and he will tell you that the shape of the falafel was inspired by the moon.
