Content: Ref: Time On Earth, we have a magnetic field that protects us from the Sun's radiation however on Mars, its shielding has disappeared and therefore advanced life would be killed off on the planet. There is a new race between the nations to get a community on Mars but we would need to build living quarters that would shield us from the Suns power, not an easy thing to do. Kim Stanley Robinson wrote about a trilogy of books (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars) about setting up on Mars and terraforming the planet. Terraforming the planet would be expensive and whether it could actually be done would need to be answered. Mars is currently in the the Goldilocks Zone and therefore in theory life could have started on the red planet. The picture below is a N.A.S.A. artists impression of Kepler-22 solar system, in the bottom picture, you will see that Mars is in the Goldilocks zone. Mars doesn't have a magnetic field so can't protect against dangerous particles from the Sun. It used to and have an atmosphere but its all gone. ref:
