Not a bad effort. Quite like the opening bars. But the chorus is too reminiscent of the La Marsellaise chorus and the lyrics are a little clunky. Not to say the task is that easy...finding something nice to rhyme with terraforming would be difficult! Also, although I appreciate the European classical tradition, I think for a new home for humanity, we perhaps need something with a wider series of musical reference points. That might be difficult as well, but could be worth the effort. Some lyrical ideas of my own:
"Mars, that was meant for war, will live in peace. "
"Vast distance we have travelled to make this land our home,
Melt water from the valleys, grow food beneath the dome."
"To make a green, serene and homely land."
