Long Answer
1. Ylla remarks that the third planet (Earth) is incapable of supporting life. This seems like comical misinformation at the time, but later events prove that she is correct, when the inhabitants of Earth end up destroying themselves. (Various stories)
2. Bradbury is making a point about the human tendency to want the comfort of familiarity even while trying to pursue change. The lack of longevity of the recreated Earth environments on Mars suggests that it is foolish to be led by nostalgic longing into trying to change a new environment. It is better to accept things as they are. (Various stories)
