The colonization of Mars by humans is the focus of speculation and serious study, as the surface conditions and availability of water on Mars make it arguably the most hospitable planet in the solar system other than Earth. While the Moon has been proposed as the first location for human colonization, unlike Earth’s moon, Mars has an atmosphere, giving it the potential capacity to host human and other organic life. The possibility of colonizing Mars has captured the popular imagination in science and science-fiction. (via @lordshaneez)
