Mars has been seeing a lot of action lately, between NASA’s string of rovers and new projects from Elon Musk and Mars One. But what would it take to set up a permanent settlement there? Could humans survive in such a harsh and alien setting?

There are a lot of problems, but we’ve got good ideas about how to solve them.

Can we colonize Mars?
