Yes actually, we should. Not all of the land, but most public land you should be allowed to build semi-regulated shelter and low impact transportation systems. The builder/resident would never own the land they "colonize", just the structures that they build or buy.
The most difinitive work I have seen on algal biodiesel would have to be "A Look Back at the U.S. Department of Energy's Aquatic Species Program: Biodiesel from Algae".
"The Aquatic Species Program (ASP) was a relatively small research effort intended to look at the use of aquatic plants as sources of energy. While its history dates back to 1978, much of the research from 1978 to 1982 was focused on using algae to produce hydrogen. The program switched emphasis to other transportation fuels, in particular biodiesel, beginning in the early 1980s. This report provides a summary of the research activities carried out from 1980 to 1996, with an emphasis on algae for biodiesel production. In 1995, DOE made the difficult decision to eliminate funding for algae research within the Biofuels Program. Under pressure to reduce budgets, the Department chose a strategy of more narrowly focusing its limited resources in one or two key areas, the largest of these being the development of bioethanol. The purpose of this report is to bring closure to the Biofuels Program's algae research. This report is a summary and compilation of all the work done over the last 16 years of the program. It includes work carried out by NREL researchers at our labs in Golden, as well as subcontracted research and development activities conducted by private companies and universities around the country. More importantly, this report should be seen not as an ending, but as a beginning. When the time is right, we fully expect to see renewed interest in algae as a source of fuels and other chemicals. The highlights presented here should serve as a foundation for these future efforts."
Your weakness is that you underestimate people too easily.
You are unhappy because you've just recently realized that alot of the world sucks, but have yet to realize just how lucky you are, learn to give a crap about people other than yourself or become aware of any worlds outside of your own tiny little reality.
You're overlooking the fact that there are better things we could be doing with our space budget, and who cares if we colonize Mars? Is that going to lower the population of Earth? Is it going to be a solution to out overcrowding problem?
If some private group(s) want to send a manned mission that's great, but a government funded mission is rediculous.
Also arrival may be claim, but how much of the U.S. did we get by claim, and how much did we "liberate"?
Important that there be a fly in the front.

So that they can unzip their spacepants and piss on a rock and say "Ha ha! Take that Mars!".
What else would be the point of spending $9346294673945639046723548409 dollars to send a manned mission to Mars instead of 345767 unmanned probes to all the other planets and moons, and also another bigass space telescope?

Riddle me that, Bat-Man.
I for one welcome our Colombian overlords.

Well that would depend upon how many people were using it,stupid.
Who has the right to say what is a word and what is not? Nobody that's who.
There is no such thing as "correct" english, only english that is compliant to a standard.
Someone should give it an ISO#.
Maybe if the new Dr. Who gets in a budget crunch, they can spend a season trapped in a "dark galaxy".
A few flashlights, and some metallic wrapping paper and they're all set.

We went into Iraq because we are pussies silly.

The only good reason to go to China would be to try to undermine the government.
The only way to react to someone trying to prevent you or anyone else from free access to information is to circumvent, undermine and destroy them.

After all, it's public land isn't it?
Better yet, send him a penny for every album you download.
Don't give the RIAA any $$$.
You are obviously too young to remember the last time it erupted.
We used to have 3 more states.

It applies more to pattented genes and traits moreso than patented seeds. It may be that proprietary genes have entered into the native population.
What then?
I can tell by your demeanor that you fail life.
Wouldn't this thing cause all kinds of problems?
How much magnetism does it take to make a plant vibrate?
I think the administration should sprinkle a few pounds of DU just to show us how safe it really is.

Most people are smarter than YOU think.
So then, how does average fuel efficiency in the UK compare to in the US?
You think we'll fuck Earth up so bad that It will be easier to terraform Mars than it will be to re-terraform Earth?
You still have yet to show what benefit to humanity the colonization of Mars would have for humanity.
What benefit did the colonization of north/south America have for humanity? You're the one who tried to make this ill fitting analogy.
The colonization of Mars is moot.

Star trek fans jumped the shark when they became a bunch of whiny nerds.
They're called ultralight airplanes, and it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to modify one to drive on the ground.
It would probably get about the same mileage as a motorcycle as well.
I wonder if it will be any safer than 2, 4-Dinitrophenol.
