According to the best evidence gathered by space probes and astronomers, Mars is an inhospitable planet;

Earth-like planet: enriching the atmosphere with oxygen, obtaining water from the polar ice caps, seeding the
planet with plant and animal life from Earth, and eventually establishing permanent human colonies. “It was
once thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant,” said Christopher McKay, a research scientist at the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration. “But now it is starting to look practical. We could do it in
four of five decades.”
The idea of “terra-forming” Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction. But as researchers

may be possible to create similar conditions on Mars.
