The Colonization of Mars
• Mars is the most suitable planet for living organisms in the solar system other than Earth.
• It has a thin atmosphere making it able to host humans and other living organisms.
• The first and most important step in making Mars habitable is to warm it up, raising the average temperature 35 to 55 degrees.
• The next step is turning Mars green and producing a breathable atmosphere, which will be a much longer and more difficult process.

The Pros
• If we would colonize Mars we could have a whole new planet to live on.
• Their would be more space for humans to live on.
• Once we have food and water we would have more resource to supply humans.
The Cons
• It will take over 100,000 years for trees to transform a blue sky. A fully transformed Mars may never be as warm and wet as Earth because it’s too small and too far from the sun.
• Much of the new Mars would be an icy world, like summer above the Arctic Circle, with pressure equivalent to a mountain twice the height of Mt. Everest.
• It takes an average of 9 months to get to Mars
