extreme cold temps, toxic soil, intense radiation....we'd almost be required to live underground. and that wouldnt alleviate the other things you mentioned. itd be a hurculean task.
id argue terrforming is going to be necessary before we can colonize planets.

Terraforming will take centuries minimum if it even can be done. Building a habitable base is surely achievable in a shorter time frame.
