Why bother with settling on mars?

We should be creating habitat's that serve as companions rather then prisons
for the long journey's ahead. Mars and bodies such as these are for AMD
(auto-motivated devices) controlled in a virtual environment in the safety
and comfort of the habitat as it extends it's reach to recover the vast
resources they may offer on the journey by.

Would a double enclosed sphere with a pressurized chamber filled with h2o
say 15 to 30 feet thick provide enough protection from the harmful UV's
while still transmitting enough light to satisfy min. req. for growing and
sustaining life ?

If these two spheres were rotating in different directions and speeds, would
there be a potential for large amounts of energy to be developed as a
"field" around the motion of the water. The control of direction and speed
would be a multiplier for the amount of potential energy available. Similar
to the current generated around the flow of gas powering a gas regulator on
a water heater.

Aquatic cultures, life forms and valuable oxygen can be stored in the h2o,
easily sustained, harvested and transplanted to all of the faraway places in
the universe!
