It may be possible one day for men to live on the planet Mars. Mars may have a climate very like ours many millions years ago, and the inhabitants may have ruined it with pollution just as we may be doing to our own. If we succeed in (суметь) setting up a colony there, we might be able to grow plants and trees in an artificial atmosphere, until it creates its own ecosystem and gradually a new atmosphere might be created around the dead planet. Astronomers have found evidence of a liquid under the surface that may be water, and if there is water, it is very possible that there might once have been some form of life on the planet. The temperature on Mars is very low and the only life form that might have survived is bacteria. But the discovery of water on Mars may be important in ways that we don’t even know yet.
