The first step would be to send robots to Mars to construct the necessary habitat and extract resources fromthe Martiansurface. The next step would be to send humans to Mars to begin operating the colony. To protect themselves from the harsh conditions on Mars, humans would need to build ice...
The good news is that there is plenty of water in the form of ice on the surface of Mars, including ice covering the poles and inhuge craters. The bad news is that a mission to these freezing cold regions presents its own problems, like the amount of energy it would take to ...

The Zhurong rover of China's Mars mission had been working for 342 Martian days as of Sunday, and traveled more than 1,900 meters southward from its landing point on the Utopia Planitia, a vast plain in the northern hemisphere of Mars.RELATED...
Because Mars has no magnetic field, humans would receive whopping doses of cosmic radiation — not a problem on Earth, where the planet's magnetic field works to block it out. A 1,000-day trip to Mars has the potential to result in a 40 percent chance of the astronaut developing cancer...
The Mars Odyssey spacecraft journeyed for more than six months before placing itself in orbit around the red planet in October, 2001. AFP/Getty Images The book and movie, "2001: A Space Odyssey," famously predicted that humans would have made great strides in exploring our solar system by...
Despite SpaceX’s ambitious plans to have humans set foot on on the Red Planet by 2025, experts believe the year-long 140 million mile (225 million kilometers) flight to Mars would not only require a major feat of engineering and budget – something SpaceX may not be able to afford on...
Asides from designing a big rocket ship that will land humans on Mars, scientists, engineers, and technicians, have conducted several missions in the past to determine whether the planet is livable. This includesconfirming water resourcesand identifying hazards. As well, plenty of groundwork needs...
