Mars, new home or not?

Image result for mars with waterThe question still stands can we live in Mars? Many have asked if we can live on Mars or not? Is it gonna be our new home in the near future? People have had many theories that we have to live on Mars since our own planet, Earth is being destroyed whether it be from global warming, from what many people have theories or from something out there in the galaxy heating up and destroying Earth.
Mars has an unfriendly atmosphere to human life, it has no oxygen for us to breath in with an environment is very cold add to the fact that it has intense radiation.
Billions of years ago the red planet use to have an atmosphere and a lot of water on the north pole of Mars.

Even if we can make it to Mars, we will need to find a way to live in it. People and scientist have hypothesised that we will have to find a way to live on the red planet. We will constantly need a pressurized and heated environment, there is no breathable air like on earth and the atmosphere is very cold as well as the air has little to no pressure.
The harsh environment and the toxic land on the red planet will make it harder to grow food.
The scientist has theorised that they will be able to grow and farm food inside the many caves on Mars but they are not sure yet.

Elon Musk the founder of SpaceX, a space exploration and technology company and they have planned to build a community of 80,000 people to live in Mars and get the first human to land on the red planet by 2026 ten years earlier than NASA. The travel will be dangerous no one has been there before and the landing will need to be precise. Mars has lots of volcanic and rocky mountains they will need a clear space to land on and that is not the hardest part, getting back to earth is a much harder plan to work on.


In conclusion, we will need a self-sustaining food system and water supply to keep on living on the big red planet. The air pressure on there will be a big problem as well and oxygen will be a greatly needed supply if we can't find out a way to get oxygen on Mars.
Getting to Mars and living on it will be a big problem, lots of plans will need to be made and completing those plans will be even harder.
Summing-up all of these, Can we live in Mars or not? Well, there is still no sure answer until we try it.
