Living on Mars
Could we really live on Mars?
The possibility of life on Mars is a subject of interest in astrobiology due to the planet's proximity and similarities to Earth.
WHY MARS?
Mars is one of Earth's closest habitable neighbours. Mars is about half as far from the Sun as Earth is, so it still has decent sunlight.

"You want to wake up in the morning and think the future is going to be great - and that is what being a spacefaring civilisation is all about. It is about believing in the future and thinking that the future will be better than the past. And I cannot think of anything more exciting than going out there and being among the stars."
-Elon Musk
