I'm pretty sure that the mission to colonize Mars will be to avoid the inevitable self-destruction, and perhaps only to return once things settle. Maybe the Boston Dynamics robots will do some final exterminating before the rich return to restart civilization.
They will likely take a batch of geniuses in many fields as resources, but it is entirely plausible that innovations and expertise could transfer to different AIs and knowledge could be sequestered electronically.
I don't think people will colonize the surface of Mars. I think they will tunnel, maybe using the Boring Company. It is far safer and warmer underground. Utilities and agriculture and such things will be above ground, naturally.
