That's for sure, but not in the near future, maybe in the 2100's.
It will be by far the most expensive human quest ever. It will require, if not the actual terraforming of the Martian soil, at least a great feat of extraterrestrial engineering (here the term being correctly applied) for building the human habitat facilities.
Long term space travel has been proven feasible by the long-term space station missions, since the 80's.
So, yes, Mars is the next frontier, but don't expect to see any Martian real state at the turn of this decade or the next.

In theory it's possible but I doubt it will actually happen. After all the goal of scientists is not to figure out how to live on Mars but on how to live in another Solar System. Yes there is water but the atmosphere is wrong and who'd want to live on a planet which is basically a dead Earth? Life once lived there but the planet died, the core cooled and without the heat of the core nothing lives on a planet. One day this will happen to Earth too which is why scientists are considering the possibilty of moving to another world.

I doubt very much many people could, although there was a documentary a few weeks ago about a Woman who only ate chocolate. But that's just one Woman out of millions, to simply exist on Mars bars alone is incredulous to say the least.

If conditions in Mars are altered in order to convert the planet in an habitable one bets are for people living over there in the future.

why not NASA have found signs of water on MARS so if there water on this planet it should also be able to support some sort of life weather this micro-organisms or bigger life forms only time will tell so yes we could live on MARS at some point.

Yes, but not in are life time, it may be a few thousand years before this is a real possibility.

Not even a hundred years ago, the question of...'will man ever walk on the moon?' was scorned at...If we could land there and set off some atmospheric 'pixy dust' (have they found it yet?)...I guess it's possible.

only if we plant trees and build a irrigation system connected to mars

I doubt it.
There would be no way of transporting resources quickly enough in an emergency.
It seems a rather futile dream.
