possibly on other planets outside of our solar system, or inside of a controlled environment, but not out in the open

If man can live in the cold of the south pole, in the vacuum of space in orbit around the earth, or for months in a submarine under the ocean, man can live just about anywhere.
The big question is not whether man can live there, but whether we're willing to spend the money to build livable habitations there. Man could live just about anywhere in the solar system (although the Venus suggestion made above would be EXTREMELY difficult - Venus is hotter than some parts of Mercury) with air, sustanence, and a controlled environment (which includes not just temperature and atmosphere, but also things like shielding against cosmic rays).
The state of current technology is just about to the point where we could live anywhere, but in some places the expense would be (ahem...) astronomical.

Only within a sealed structure with an atmosphere. A base would need to be built, with redundant hulls, interior walls and airlocks.
We do not have even a workable terraforming idea. But for sure, if we build a base down below the surface of a planet, (whose atmosphere isnt corrosive) we can pump air in it and live there, grow trees, food, simulate sunlight or have a seriously complex mirror system for when your habitat is facing sunward. (other factors included) Actually looking forward to it. Once we build Selene.

Most other planets that have a upper atmosphere have too harsh of atmospheric conditions to set a Fema trailer there, if that is what you want to know. Hey check this out ?... If you land on a planet that had 70% frozen methane and oxygen content of 30% and then tried to enter the inner atmophere with a burning rocket engine.. What you think? Massive burning liquid Sun..."What's hot and what's not?

Earth is the only planet, none of the other planets in our solar system have atmospheres capable of supporting human life, including Mars.

No, and they can't live on Mars either. YET.
