I'm not going to debate feasibility, because I have no theoretical basis on the subject, but I'm always excited by scientists who propose audacious projects. Mars has ice on its caps and gases in the atmosphere that could be collected, and the asteroids are rich in minerals and metals that could be extracted with new technology. The human species has only progressed technologically in history because of visionaries.
