Answer 1

Newspaper Article:

Mars is a beautiful planet that can be a great place to colonize and develop a human presence over there.

The environment is slightly different from earth - actually quite different. There might not be a lot of liquid water but there are ice caps which can be used to create water. The atmosphere might not be ideal for humans so we would need to build a oxygen-tight 'house' for humans to live there.

Hence, while it might not be like planet earth, we can use some proven technologies to make the place more habitable.

I would probably take a couple of pictures of my family with me when I move to Mars and a nice camera to take lovely pictures on dusk and dawn.
