No. Mars is all sorts of whacked out right now. For starters, the top 3000 feet of the Northern Hemisphere have been blown clean off. Look at how smooth it is compared to the southern hemisphere, and how much lower it is:

Do you see those 4 white bulges, and the really long canyon-like line right next to them, way on the left? Those are the locations of 4 really strong lightning bolts, way way back in the day. The biggest of them - Olympus Mons - is supposed to be the largest volcano in our solar system, but a close inspection of the area reveals something more:

This first inset picture gives you a full view of the Olympus Mons, while the second and third one show you a demonstration where an arc was striking a piece of clay. In the experiment, moisture from the clay crept to the surface and began sweating away from the arc. When the area that became the Olympus Mons was struck, water and mud began sliding away from the arc and produced that splatter effect you can see right there,
But lava can do that too, right?

One look at the crater on top of the "volcano" should shoot that idea down. You can plainly see craters centered over other craters. What could cause this? The electricity is seeking the path of least resistance, and it's burning out the area inside the crater really fast. What it does is it jumps from the area with the lowest elevation (the center of the crater) to the area of highest elevation (the crater rim). Lightning always tries to strike high ground, right? There's no place higher than the crater rim of the Olympus Mons.
Some lightning craters have raised mounds in the middle:

The entire Nothern Hemisphere is way below the average elevation for the planet, but Mars' North Pole sits on a dome that's almost 3 km above the surrounding surface:

Hmmm.... now what do you think is going on there? I think that the Northern Hemisphere got blasted off, and the North Pole is like the raised mound in the crater. Look at that twisted mound, these currents passed through it and kneaded it like dough.

Here are some glassy dunes, look at how they run sort of perpindicular to each other. This is because the shortest distance between the main current and where the energy needs to go is a straight line.

Here's some more glassifying currents coming out of the ground.
Anyways, my point is that Mars got fried. It used to have a magnetic field, but whatever zapped Mars also cancelled out its stable energy fields. There WAS life on Mars... at one time:

This is the area where they found the face of Mars, you can see the face in the upper right. Tell me that doesn't remind you of Egypt. You won't read about that in the Bible, but then maybe we weren't supposed to know?

Just think about. Compare our present state of technology with that of 1906. In 100 years a lot of things are going to be possible. Perhaps there will be no more wars, no more famine, no more malaria and other diseases that are killing us, perhaps we will find a way to stop global warming. We will certainly have the technology to go and make Mars habitable. From now to then we may even be able to find a better refuge in case something goes wrong with Earth. Mars may not be the best alternative; but if it becomes necessary for the human race to leave Earth rest assure that we will have the means to evacuate at least some people, perhaps the most useful to a future society. I hope you and I are on the boat to Mars, lets leave the criminals and the terrorists behind.

Yes, i think we COULD land on mars in the next 100 years. Will we? Probably not. It is WAY too expensive to travel to the moon even. obviously it will cost alot more to transport humans to Mars.
I think most governments will decide to spend money on other things. Really, i dont think there is a big enough benefit from landing/living on mars at this point.

yes. i saw it in pbs the other day. stephen hawking says we need to move outta here in order for our species to survive. i saw it in the movie mission to mars... all these things point to one thing... we WILL conquer mars!
These people don't have imagination! Of course we can live in Mars! First we land there, establish a base, set up a biosphere. Start the process of terraforming Mars. In the end, it may take thousands of years for humans to be truly living off Mars, but we can send an advance party within the next century if we really want to. I dont want the human race to rot in earth. We have the technology and we have the brains to work it out, that is if we dont annihilate ourselves first.

No, not at all. All humans would have to actually learn how to live on mars first before we even left earth and I doubt that NASA really cares that much to teach every human how to adapt. There is no way we could because there is no water on mars and plus mars atmosphere is different from ours we wouldn't really be able to survive living on mars. So no I would have to say that we will never live on any other planet and it is worthless to even try.

Search and studies by the scientists shows possibilities,but that would not be feasible for an ordinary citizen!Unlike earth,almost everything is free,free,oxygen,water and other natural benefits!Dont bother yourself,you wil;l never enjoy mars,there is no comfortable life in there,no water and plants, As they said they have to rehabilitate the mars firswt and try to put some living things!

No. One thing Hollywood always forgets to mention is that Mars is only a third the size and mass of Earth. The gravity on Earth is essential to life. Without that same gravity, we wouldn't be able to survive. However, I do see us setting up resorts on Mars for weekend retreats. Just not continous living.

No, i think that 100 years would be far too soon for humans to inhabit Mars. We do not yet possess the technology to be able to do this.

I think it's impossible because the environment it's not habitable. There are very very strong sandstorms, the sunlight is lower, the gravity is lower than on Earth, there's no water, the risk to be hit by a comet or asteroid is higher, there's no ozone that is protecting the planet from radiations, it's too cold there where's no sun and too hot where it is, there are too many sulfa volcanoes, the ground could contain poison that it's not letting plants to grow. It's just impossible.

It's not possible. Living organism are not truly seperate from their environment. This is not something that it obviously based on our scientific methodology that tends to focus on discrete parts of a system for the purpose of gaining power over it. We pretend that things are seperate in order to get a handle on them but it's not, true. It's simply not possible to account for every last detail down to the last minutia. The result will always be the same....eventually atrophy and death of the organism.
All environments outside of earth are inimical to life. Nothing we can do can change that except for BRIEF periods of time.
