      No humans have visited Mars yet, the furthest people have ever been is the Moon. Hopefully people can visit Mars in the future though, and space agencies like NASA are working out how to do this, maybe sometime in the 2030’s.

      There are a few things people would need protection from on Mars. Mars is quite a lot colder than Earth and it can have very large dust storms. There is also only a tiny bit of oxygen in the Martian atmosphere, and humans need oxygen to breath. Humans would need special suits and habitats to live in.

      People have been thinking about how people would survive on Mars for a very long time, there are lots of science fiction stories about it!
