We've defeated nature. We have the ability to reason and thus question said nature. (Why do people swim in seas they know contain sharks?)
It's not our nature that drives us to seek 'survival' by inhabiting another planet, it's our curiosity. Who are we to say this project wouldn't backfire in our faces? There is only one way to find out.
No we have not defeated nature and we cannot defeat nature.

People swim in seas they know contain sharks because sharks are everywhere and shark attacks are pretty rare.
When I said that about life I was referring to how we've polluted this planet and used up so many resources because it helped us at that point in time not about how it's our nature to go to Mars.
Sure just like how going to the moon was a bad idea.
