Can We Live on Mars?
Take a thrilling journey to the Red Planet. Find out how to get there, where to settle, and how to survive.
No one has ever been to Mars. It is between 35 million and 250 million miles away, depending on the calendar. But space scientists are developing a rocket to take us.
How do we know when to go? Can we land without crashing and burning? How will we survive when we get there?
Mars has a thin and unbreathable atmosphere, intense radiation, and sandstorms the size of North America. There is no fuel, and the only water is locked in the frozen icecaps and particular rocks.
