      You should really eat more than just chocolate. Theoretically we could live on the planet Mars as long as we solved the small issue of resources – having enough water and food

      Hello! Thanks for your question. It is not possible to live on Mars at the moment because there is no oxygen and the temperature is very low – below freezing! But maybe in the future who knows? I like to think that anything is possible!

      We don’t know yet. We’ve not got so far as to get a man there but they hope to do it in the next few years!

      I expect so – the latest findings suggest there are quite large lakes of frozen water under the surface (water would be our limiting factor)

      You need to be protected from radiation and bring your own air supply and protection from extremes of temperature. Some people think it will be possible to seed atmospheres on planets that do not currently have them to make it possible for humans to live there, of course they’d also have to be not too near or far from a sun so they were not too hot or too cold.
