The MS advocates Mars because it believes that before the first human lands on Mars, there will already be an infrastructure on the spot, ready to refurbish the return spacecraft.
I just wonder how big the base, how much energy and how much technology will be needed to allow for ISRU, all this with no humans to control the process on the spot.
There's a world of difference between facts on paper and the events unfolding.
