Let’s Begin…
There's a lot of talk these days about when and how we might all move to Mars. But what would it actually be like to live there? Mari Foroutan details the features of Mars that are remarkably similar to those of Earth — and those that can only be found on the red planet.
We consider water fundamental to life, so scientists think that searching for evidence of water on Mars can bring us closer to finding evidence of life there. But could other elements be more fundamental to life on Mars? Could it be possible that we are totally wrong in our expectations about life on other planets? What other things do you think we should consider in our future investigations?
