can a person go to mars ?

Yes, perhaps not now, but as soon as the right technology is available to sanction that sort of trip, I am sure they will.

Living on Mars wont happen for a long time, \nFirstly we dont have the technology so we couldnt get there even if we wanted to\nSecondly it would cost a HUGE amount of money just to get the technology and then even more money to go into space\nThirdly, the journey to Mars is a couple of months at least so it would take a long time to get there and we dont know the effects of deep space radiation on the body yet so all the astronauts could die\nIn the near future ( say 50 years)  it is very unlikely the someone will go to Mars\nIn the far future ( say at least 100 years) then it is very likely\n\nAlthough if you mean someone living in an atmosphere on Mars rather than going there in a spaceship and landing and then coming back, well, it will take hundreds upon hundreds of years to do that as we have to create an atmosphere on Mars first and that is very very hard

Thats stupid to think we will go to Mars. LOL

We, meaning you? Or "We" meaning humans?\n\nUnfortunately, you'll be dead by the time we establish a human presence.  Humans can travel to Mars, but "living" there can mean many things: If you define "living" there as simply showing up and staying for a day, then 2030 is a good estimate.  "Living" meaning "Colonizing" is well into the NEXT century!

Been there, done that moved on to Mars.

Living on Mars is theoretically possible, but the cost of sustaining life there is prohibitive.  The greatest problem with sustaining life on Mars is that once humans got used to the lesser amount of gravity, they would not be able to return to earth as the organs would not be able to operate under the gravity on earth.\n\nAnd judgement day?  If you mean the day when you die, moving to Mars won't stop you from dying.  And if you mean a theoretical day when all of the humans will be judged at the same time, I doubt that moving to Mars is going to protect you from that, if you believe in that sort of thing.

Mars being very hot now is not a suitable condition for humans and plants, as we know it, to live.\nBut now that Water in the form of Ice has been confirmed, it is a possibility for us to live there, provided that the ice has to be vapourised to create water clouds, and subseqently the clouds should give out rain, and when this chain starts, the creation of oxygen could be obtained by growing plants which emit oxygen. \nWHEW. That my friend is a hectic task ahead (and probably not feasible also). So may be, just may be, that some where about at 200 years down it could be a dream come true.\n\nBesides, we would only be intruding the rules of the Nature by doing so.

Yes, but not in the way you might think. I don't think we'll have any of the general population living there at all. (not in 100 yrs anyway). But, I'll bet that a small team of scientists will be living on mars at that time to study and experiment how living on another planet my be accomplished.

It depends on how fully terraformed Mars was and how risky the flight there would be.  Mars could conceivably be terraformed into a beautiful Earth-like world.  Given safe transportation there, heck yeah I'd consider it, especially if they allowed homesteading.

may b its possible on mars.....scientist are in reasearch of this.....last year they also find some bones on mars. so may b possible on mars

As of right now, no.  Earth's atmosphere is about 20-25% oxygen and about 75% nitrogen.  Mars' atmosphere is about 95% carbon dixoide, so humans cannot breathe on Mars.  It is conceivable that certain types of photosynthetic algae could survive on Mars, transforming carbon dioxide to oxygen via photosyntheis.  However, the atmosphere would still require nitrogen to be breathable.

According to current accepted beliefs, there is no people in Mars, although there has been fossils of single celled organism.\n\nWe should stick to this, until we found any further information about living things in Mars.

How will you keep warm?\nIt will be lonely without other people, including women.\nYou need to work on modular housing for atmospheric-interior pressure differentials.\nYou need to know where the water is located and how to get a handle on it.\nYou need energy source(s).\nYou need entirely new clothing and suit for outdoors.\nYou need a food supply and a plan for replenishment.\nWhat is most valuable or needed will not be known for sure until people gain experience by living there.\nLots of people will also need a Doctor/Surgeon.\nYou will need to visit Finland first.\nYou will need to know sub-surface temperatures, have a piping engineer, a construction engineer (specialized).\nShould you live underground? How far? What about meteorites?\nHow best to make use of existing terrain? Needs a very old geologist with lots of experience everywhere.\nWhat about people who become criminals or go nuts? You need to be able to send them back to earth...the alternatives are not pretty.\nYou need lots of energy-efficient bio-friendly lighting, especially to avoid depression.\nSame for plants -- which ones? Some colorful veggies and flowers, for sure.\nSo you will also need gardeners, horticulturist.\nYou will need excavating equipment that operates in this environment.\nWhat kind of transportation is best for Mars??????\n\nJust a start, but if you do not think of these things first, you will have trapped yourself in a place worse than Earth, though that may be hard to imagine until you consider the matter.\n\nShould weapons be allowed or banned?\nHow will the community be governed?\nDemocracy would apply to some things, in other cases the person who knows must be dictator, lest unforgiving mistakes result.\n\nMany things we take for granted here will need constant monitoring. More recycling necessary, less garbage.\n\nWhat about long distance transport, need aircraft adapted to Martian atmospheric conditions.\n\nThis all has to grow for many, many years before it will approach self-sustaining. Meanwhile, without planet Earth to call on for help...\n\nVisit Biosphere and Antarctica before you decide

There are numerous reasons to go to Mars...\n\nFirst, to show that we can.  This may not seem valid at first, but humans have always been explorers and conquerors.  We need to face challenges that seem impossable and conquer them.\n\nSecond, it gives us insight about our own planet.  \n\nThird, it is the first step in seeing if we can either terraform the planet and make it livable, or mine it for resources that might be very scarce on Earth.\n\nFourth, such a project provides jobs for tens to hundreds of thousands of people.

sure, you just have to leave earth.  the acceleration on the moon is about 1.6 m/s^2.  so you'd need to go somewhere slightly larger than the moon, but not quite as large as the moon.  perhaps mars?  aha, on mars it is 3.7 m/s^2.  close enough?\n\nhttp://hypertextbook.com/facts/2004/MichaelRobbins.shtml\nhttp://hypertextbook.com/facts/2004/JahshirahRossi.shtml
