only one small problem with that idea, the lack of a magnetic field, mars also has this problem but you atlest can bury your self in the ground to protect yourself agains the solar radiation
If you've already figured out how to live in space for the many months required to get to Mars, why would you want to abandon your (presumably shielded) ship to live underground at the bottom of a massive gravity well? Stay in orbit. The view is better and you're halfway to anywhere.
