END OF BRIEFING

At a Glance

When people think of a terraformed and independent Mars, the reality is sometimes disappointing. The public perception and the scientific reality of terraformation are broadly different. Mars is undergoing terraformation but it will not be completed for centuries, and even then it will never be an "Earth-like" globe. The hope and the goal are to allow Humans to walk Mars without the need of a pressure sleeve or oxygen mask and to have a world that supports life forms. But Mars will always be colder and drier than Earth, with portions of it as uninhabitable as the highest or driest terrain on Earth. The goal for its eventual atmospheric pressure would be similar to about 4,000-5,000 feet above sea level on Earth.
