Exploring Life on Mars: The Next Frontier in Colonization
Life on Mars has fascinated humanity for centuries, prompting deep questions about the viability of living on our neighboring planet.

While both views offer valuable insights, they often overlook the crucial transitional stages required for successful colonization.
