      Mars atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, the surface of the planet is too cold to sustain human life, and the planet’s gravity is a mere 38% of Earth’s. If we were to live on Mars we would have to wear spacesuits all the time! It might happen one day NASA are planning to send someone to the planet by 2040.

      Unfortunately not at the moment – we wouldn’t be able to breathe and it would be too cold!
