Mars is the focus of much speculation and scientific study about possible human colonization . Its surface conditions and the presence of water on Mars make it arguably the most hospitable of the planets in the Solar System , other than Earth . Mars requires less energy per unit mass ( delta-v ) to reach from Earth than any planet except Venus . However, at minimum energy use, a trip to Mars requires 6–7 months in space using current chemical spacecraft propulsion methods. Other challenges of human missions to Mars have been described. [1] |

The colonization of Mars by humans is the focus of serious study because surface conditions, such as the availability of frozen ground water, make it the most hospitable planet in the solar system other than Earth . While the Moon due to its close proximity has been proposed as the first location for human colonization, lunar gravity is only 16% that of Earth's while Martian gravity is a more substantial 38%. There is more water present on Mars than the Moon, and Mars has a thin atmosphere. These factors give Mars a greater potential capacity to host organic life and human colonisation. |

The colonization of Mars by humans is the focus of speculation and serious study because the surface conditions and availability of water on Mars make it arguably the most hospitable planet in the solar system other than Earth . The Moon has been proposed as the first location for human colonization , but Mars has a thin atmosphere, giving it the potential capacity to host human and other organic life. Both the Moon and Mars, as potential colonization sites, have the disadvantages of cost and risk associated with landing down deep gravity wells , which may make asteroids another option for early expansion of humans into the solar system . |

Mars is the focus of much speculation and serious study about possible human colonization . Its surface conditions and the availability of water make it arguably the most hospitable of the planets in this solar system, other than Earth . The Moon has been proposed as the first location for human colonization , but unlike Earth's moon, Mars has the potential capacity to host human and other organic life. With an environment suitable for colonization, and potential for alteration into a stable ecosystem in the far future, Mars is considered by most scientists, including Stephen Hawking , [1] as the ideal planet for future colonization and renewal of life. The colonization of Mars is a thought-provoking subject that captures the imagination of many people in science and science-fiction. The project of colonizing Mars provides a useful thought experiment for contemplating the future of humanity. |

Mars is the focus of much speculation and serious study about possible human colonization. In terms of energy ( delta V ) requirements, it is the most trivial of planets to reach from Earth , though a trip there would still require several months in space (with current technology, about 6-7 months). |

Many people believe that space colonization is a desirable and perhaps inevitable step in the future of humanity. Mars is the focus of much speculation and serious study about possible colonies. Mars is the easiest planet to reach from Earth in terms of energy ( delta V ) requirements. Still, a trip to Mars requires several months in space. |
