Yep, yet it's my understanding that it'd be easier to colonize Venus than Mars. Venus is closer, Venus' gravity is similar to Earth's, the air is extremely dense which means balloons would be very effective, iirc Venus has more opportunities for inter-planetary transit, high-altitude temperatures (where the balloons would float) are more similar to Earth's, etc.

Okay, so make a blimp rover already if it's so easy.

Sure, lemme just waltz over to my money tree and harvest some cash.

I didn't say it wouldn't still be obscenely expensive.
