As part of its program to enhance astronomy education, the Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology organized a lecture on “Why and how will we live on Mars?” on Apr. 14, 2021. The lecture was given by Mr. Amr Ansary, a scientific guide at the SAASST Planetarium. Mr. Amr presented the pros and cons of going to Mars and settle there. Mars was believed to be a live planet 3.5 billion years ago. Its present-day dead environment is the subject of intense research to answer the following question: what happened to it?  Its thin atmosphere is 96% of carbon dioxide. Its magnetic field is very localized, unlike Earth’s magnetosphere. Despite these striking differences with Earth, the Martian surface looks like any region here on Earth: plains, valleys, mountains, and deserts.
