It would be really tough, but I always imagine a giant bubble to keep the harsh environments out.  People would go crazy in there, though.

I think it would only be possible if there was also lots of water on the planet as well as good solar radiation being close to a star and carbon dioxide. Also it would be helpful if there was nitrogen in the soil since plants absorb nutrients from the soil. There would also need to be rainfall on the planet, but if there wasn't irrigation and watering by caretakers could be sufficient.\n\nAnd what about terraforming? Mars has an atmosphere and I beieve carbon dioxide. Could plants grow on Mars? We'd have to transport millions of gallons of water in our ships and keep the water from sinking deep into the planet. Why would we want to do that? It could cost a trillion dollars. The moon has no atmosphere I'm not sure it could be terraformed. Just a thought.

The only way humans could survive would be underground and only if they had a reliable source of power such as geothermal or maybe nuclear if they had access to fuel.\n\nThe weather would make life on the surface unlivable.

All the weapons that have ever existed on Earth couldn't do more than split Mars into a couple chunks, which would just gravitate back together. You would need to literally pulverize the planet, and none of the weapons that we can make are even close to powerful enough to do that.

No other planets are habitable for humans.\n\nMercury and Venus being far too hot.\n\nJupiter, Saturn and Neptune for being gas giants and so has no solid surface. The gravitational pull of these planets would crush our bodies. Juipters gravititational pull is over 300 times the earth.\n\nPluto is too far away thus seeing temperatures of over -200 degrees C.\n\nMars would have been a perfect candidate, as the temperature is quite similar to earth's at occasion. But our lifes need plenty of water and the abundance of water on Mars is basically zero.\n\nFor other life than humans, a moon called Europa, which orbits Saturn, contains frozen methane and water, which could harbour life. The only problem is its a moon and not a planet.\n\nThere are all the other planets (approximately 250 so far discovered) in the Keiper Belt which need to be examined

How would a tourist from mars relate his experiences on earth when he gets back home

Mars is not hot. It's pretty cold. The average surface temperature is -8°C. In best conditions, it takes about a month to get there. The trip would be on a spaceship and you'd be PARTYING!

First off for terraforming Mars you need to create an atmosphere.. then can you begin to "build" life on Mars..even with water you need an atmosphere..But also as stated earlier..Mars' magnetic field is not there..therefore nothing is stopping all the deadly radiations and other cosmic energies from bombarding the planet.

Even though Mars is said to be the most Earth like plant in our solar system. For instance.\n1. Day length (Earth 23h 56min to Mars 24h 37min)\n2. Distance from the sun (Earth 1AU, Mars 1.381AU - 1666AU)\n\nThere are many difference between Earth and Mars that would effect life.\n1. there is no breathable air on mars (made up of 95.3% CO2 and only 0.15% Oxygen). \n2. the gravity of mars in only 38% of Earth, and most likely resulting in muscle deterioration of earth based species (Use it or loss it).\n3. There is also a difference in planet temperature (Mars has be known to have temperatures around -55 degrees Celsius)\n\nThese points among others mean that life on Mars (if possible) would require a different approach then living on Earth.

An increase of ozone around Mars would increase the temperature.\n\nHowever, there's two problems: \n\na) Mars does not have a large enough amount of mass to hold onto the amount of atmosphere required to raise the planet's temperature, and;\n\nb) Because Mars is smaller, it lost its heat much more quickly than the earth. Mars eventually cooled off to the point where its inner molten iron core hardened, destroying the magnetic field surrounding the planet. Because the earth is bigger, the core is still molten here, and we have a magnetic field which points our compasses in the right direction. Back to Mars - without the magnetic field, the atmosphere was exposed to the solar wind, which stripped it away. On Earth, the solar wind is stopped by the magnetic field, and it can only touch the atmosphere at the poles, where the air molecules ionize, creating aurora borealis and australis (The Northern and Southern Lights).\n\nMuchas your idea is a good one, it would require heating Mars' core and adding mass to the planet, which is currently impossible.

Mars lacks the gravity to hold onto an Oxygen atmosphere for any length of time.\n\nBasically the average speed of the molecules from thermal vibrations is sufficiently high that some of them are moving faster than escape velocity which means that those molecules will escape forever.\n\nA good rule of thumb is that if the average speed is more than about a tenth of the escape velocity the planet won't hold an atmosphere for very long.  There are ways to calculate a half life of a species in an atmosphere but I don't have the information with me at the moment.

Yeah.   I reckon we should first study Mars in its pristine form for a few decades.   By then we'll have the technology to terraform it, so we'll have somewhere to run to when we screw up Earth.

Depends.  We can live on other planets and other places of the universe if we adapt.  (i.e. we could build a moon base and live inside the moon base with air and sustaince)\n\nThis would be considered the "artificial" way of living on another planet.\n\nBut assuming you question was as to naturally living on a planet; what deters us from being able to live on most other planets "naturally" is because they don't satisfy living conditions needed for humans such as:\n\nhabitable atmosphere\nsustaining gravity level\nlivable temperatures and weather \neasy geology, soil compensation\nsources of sustenance such as water/vegetation\nmagnetic field, dynamo\n\nOkay each explained.  As we live on earth with certain conditions any extreme can cause complications.\n\nWe need habitable atmosphere to breathe.  Also it needs to be existing at some level to block out radiation from intense solar rays (if a star exists there).\n\nGravity level needs to be subjected to our existing body shape and form.  If gravity was too intense our body would pull down that would form an evolution of us to become more flattened and shorter.  We may adapt but it would definitely make it hurt while there.  Atrophy is a key term here!  Same goes for other way.  We would end up being bouncing up and down if we were on a low gravity area.\n\nHaving temperatures in sync to our bodies ability to adapt is important.  If we are able to sustain handling colder weather by warming up with jackets and heat sources maybe.  But let's say it's a place of 500 degrees below zero.  Then we end up putting a lot of source of energy to keep us comfortable.  Weather is important too.  If we lived on Jupiter (if we could live on gas surface) we would be continously bombarded by electrical and hurricane type weather.  Or the chemical structure of atmosphere as first condition listed if it was a methane storm we would be undoubtedly dead.\n\nEasy geology.  Remember the movie "Armageddon"?  The rocky terrain jutting up with sharp points of the asteroid would make it hard to traverse the area.  Also from previous point the surface of the planet needs to be solid...Jupiter as a gas giant makes it hard to live on that.  Soil composition is important in regards to sustaining life in soil for vegetation.\n\nWhich from that point any form of vegetation is important to our survival.  We could build biodomes and such but if had to live using sources from the planet to help we would have to counteract any harmful levels (i.e. too much sulfur) to make it workable.  Also water is the most important essential needed (outside of oxygen).  Any way to form that materials on the planet or it should be existing already.\n\nFinally magnetic field is important to help ionizing levels of radiation occuring from any solar activity.  Having the dynamo which means planet with a central core of molten iron in a circumvent can help make the field.\n\nThere are numerous other conditions but these seem the obvious big ones.

Yes they did.\n\nBut mars is very far away, and if somone did try to make it out there, they would be at the effect of multiple things:\n\n1.) Solar flares, they would have no protection\n2.) There would be no way to help them if something went wrong out there.\n3.) The astronauts would lose LOTS of bone mass, from the lack of gravity in space.\n4.) to carry enough food and water would need a big spacecraft, thus needing more fuel\n\nAs well as others\n\nBut it aslo has to do with the governments. If it was "Earth" instead of everyone individually, we would have a much better chance.

yes, indeed we can . The recent explorers made the discovery of water in ice form can be a good source of supply of organic  chemistry survivng there. While the scientists are reseacrhing  on the survival conditins of us on Mars are aroud 60 pecent if all the conditions are satisfied. In short answer, yes we can not only set foot on mars but also find a way of living on it.

Technology now exists that can send probes (very expensive probes) anywhere in the solar system, including Jupiter.  However, it is doubtful that man will ever go there because the planet is a giant gas planet without land to land on, air to breath or temperatures high enough to sustain life.  Also the planet has a powerful gravitational pull and anyone who goes there will stay there.  Mars is a much more hospitable goal for space travel by men (and women too).  Bring your own air!
