      I don’t know to be honest. At present Mars doesn’t have the necessary conditions for humans to just go and live there… it’s so cold they say the average temperature is around -63°C, there is no water or food, nothing to breathe… I mean imagine living somewhere that every time you want to go out you have to wear a spacesuit… I mean if Elon Musk manages to actually go there and build a base, I don’t know if I would still want to live there, even he thinks there is a very high chance that you would just die… So no I don’t think it would be safe to live in the near future at all. I prefer to be on planet earth and watch my Netflix, and do something about climate change 🙂

      I don’t think that humans would be able to live on Mars to be honest. At least not without a lot of technology to be able to help! The atmosphere in Mars is not suited for wildlife, not to mention the extreme temperatures, and solar storms etc.
      So, if we made it there, I don’t know that it would be safe!

      With a lot and I mean a lot of tech yes we can live on Mars, would it be safe again yes if all the technology kept working.
      You can design a form of terra forming technology and make billions!
