Humans need food,water and air to survive.Scientists should be able to develop plants that can grow on Mars.These plants will produce the food,water and oxygen that we need.However,nobody is sure if these plants can produce enough water.
Gravity will be a problem for the early settlers on Mars.The gravity on Mars is only about three-eighths of that on Earth.This may be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and float away into space.To prevent this,humans on Mars have to wear special boots to make themselves heavier.These boots will probably become very fashionable and there will be many different designs for settlers to choose from.
