Utopia, vision or reality in the second millennium?
Mars is the focus of science. All space-faring nations want to go there at some point. This includes Elon Musk and SpaceX. It is still unclear when a human will set foot on the planet for the first time. However, the pressure to send people to the Earth is increasing, especially if traces of life could be detected on Mars. Researchers have found water but no life. It is repeatedly pointed out that after the formation of the planets four and a half billion years ago, conditions for life existed on Mars as on millions of exoplanets in space. Likewise, the visionary idea exists to make Mars habitable as an alternative to Earth.
