Artificial gravity is pretty easy to provide. I'm with Hubert that, at least from a standpoint of resource extraction and economic advantage, the asteroids, and eventually comets, are a better bet than Mars. Mars is more useful, I believe, as a research base. The asteroids have more promise as colonization destinations.
