Q
Can we live on Mars?
A
Expert Answer
Technically possible but extraordinarily challenging. Challenges include: radiation (no magnetic field), thin atmosphere (1% of Earth's), extreme cold (-80°C average), dust storms, low gravity (38% of Earth's—long-term health effects unknown), and psychological isolation. It would require extensive terraforming or enclosed habitats.
