You can't walk around on Mars without a suit so you'd basically be living in one of those pods for the rest of your life. It'd feel like living the rest of your life in a condom. You'd never feel the outdoors again. I don't think there is any feasible way yet to offer sufficient radiation protection to humans who leave Earth's electromagnetic field, so you'd likely be sterilized on the way over.
But as someone who has basically nothing here on Earth, I'd sign up for this shit. Especially if they eventually built a big biodome with plants, shrubbery, and climate control inside.
