can anyone expect a person in the near future to live in Mars?

Living on Mars wont happen for a long time, \nFirstly we dont have the technology so we couldnt get there even if we wanted to\nSecondly it would cost a HUGE amount of money just to get the technology and then even more money to go into space\nThirdly, the journey to Mars is a couple of months at least so it would take a long time to get there and we dont know the effects of deep space radiation on the body yet so all the astronauts could die\nIn the near future ( say 50 years)  it is very unlikely the someone will go to Mars\nIn the far future ( say at least 100 years) then it is very likely\n\nAlthough if you mean someone living in an atmosphere on Mars rather than going there in a spaceship and landing and then coming back, well, it will take hundreds upon hundreds of years to do that as we have to create an atmosphere on Mars first and that is very very hard

It might be possible although it'll be a lot more expensive than building space settlements and there is also the issue of the lower gravity (we don't know how that will affect the colonists).\n\nIf the gravity issue is solved we might be able to colonise the planet in that timeframe.  The materials needed are mostly there but we'd have to bring a lot of technology and softland it on Mars.  This will include mining technology, fabrication technology and power sources (probably nuclear).\n\nWater could be a problem but we should be able to import it from asteroids and comets so if there isn't any left on Mars it can be obtained from elsewhere without too much trouble.

Mankind will probably be able to go there, but it is quite far in the future - I'd say at least 20 to 25 years away.  Whether or not interest in doing so continues will depend on what is going on right here on earth, and whether we have the will to spend the money on the project.

That depends on a lot of factors, including random supergiant meteors or human stupidity. But at the least, when the sun becomes a red giant (when the hydrogen in the inner core has all been converted to helium) in about 6 billion years, it will encompass the entire orbit of Mars. That pretty much suggests no hope for Earth beyond that point.

No, aliens are not living on Mars at the present time because the current conditions there could not support life. There is a possibility that life once existed there, based on evidence of previous existence of water. The "face" and "pyramids" that you're talking about on Mars are just glitches in the photography that have been proven to be incorrect.

It will be in very near future.

According to current accepted beliefs, there is no people in Mars, although there has been fossils of single celled organism.\n\nWe should stick to this, until we found any further information about living things in Mars.

By 2030/2050 AD\nI have plots in Mars and Venus.\n\nWana buy a plot?

You see Mars?\n\nThat is what the Earth will look like in 50 years if we keep fighting over oil and nukes.

Yes man will get to mars and probably all the other planets, but no I don't think we will ever live on another planet!

It depends what you understand by "living".  If you mean astronauts in space suits and living quarters in enclosed structures I think yes, someday we will - given enough funds and motivation (perhaps a space race to Mars with the Chinese?!?).  \nHowever, if by 'living' you mean just the way you and I do on Earth, then that's another story.  Many believe that the martian atmosphere was once habitable - complete with vital liquid water, but a runaway greenhouse effect has plunged Mars into a cold winter in which liquid water cannot be found.  There are some who believe we can send plant like micro-organisms which will absorb CO2 and give out O2. In time this should make the Mars habitable once more. However, such a prospect is a bit far fetched, given the expenses and the fact that such a process will take centuries if not millenia to 'clean up' the martian atmosphere.  Moreover, it is more biologically probable that these micro-organisms evolve into a new kind of cell which adapts itself to its enviroment rather than change it.\nSo, until man finds a way to breathe and survive in the martian atmosphere, our stay there will be limited to space suits and living quarters.

In my astronomy 310 class we discussed missions to Mars, and my professor explained that it COULD be done in a couple years - if there was public interest in it. Since there isn't, and since probes to Mars have been relatively unexciting other than telling us that it used to have water on it before it all evaporated, not many people are too interested in going to a super-hot, rusty, dead planet.

I guess it depends if the earth is able to sustain life before we are able to colonize on other planets or star systems.  But yes, if we are just talking about the world only as our planet, yeah, its coming soon.  It sucks.

Still human being cannot determine simpler and safer way to get to the local orbit, let alone Mars together with long haul voyages, nowadays human's intellect is only good to sell the Moon's 'lands' for the future-based villas and finding idiotic 'smiles' on the Martian surface, unfortunately.   \ncheers

In 100 years anything is possible. I predict here will be a Walmart with in walking distance from the residence of every person on Earth.

i do because there are many galaxies are there. but you just wait because in the next 20 years we'll  be able to detect alien life forms other than our planet because if there are those aliens are trying to contact with us by waves (like we use on our planets for example, radio waves.) there is evidence that life used to exist on mars. not like life like us (like mircoscopic things). there are many stories that aliens have come to visit our planet. can be true because as they are as they are described in the movies all these phonomenons are happening buts its not possible for us yet to go visit another galaxy. not eveough human years. but in the next upcoming years we'l have ships that will be able to jump into time. as we are doing right now for example, when a space shuttle stays in orbit for atleast a year, they jump into time by 3.8 seconds. its hard to believe but its true . in star trek when they jump into time there using those worm holes. they exist but there so damn small that we have to enlarge them. there smaller than an atom. as phsyics desribres its not possible to go as fast as the speed of light it'll be possible in the next upcoming years. (i dont no when though) but if we go any faaster than the speed of light we'll be crushed by the gravity so that is why we'll be using worm holes and that is one way that we'll be able to visit other galaxies. i hope i stay alive doing that time lol

i say we will walk on mars in the next 50 years, as far as living there, maybe in the next 100-150
