      Mars is the most habitable planet in our solar system due to several reasons:

      Its soil contains water to extract
      It isn’t too cold or too hot
      There is enough sunlight to use solar panels
      Gravity on Mars is 38% that of our Earth’s, which is believed by many to be sufficient for the human body to adapt to
      It has an atmosphere (albeit a thin one) that offers protection from cosmic and the Sun’s radiation
      The day/night rhythm is very similar to ours here on Earth: a Mars day is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds

      I think scientists have high hopes for Mars! I do like to focus on plan A though, we can still save our home if we work together.
