At the moment; No.
Atmospheric pressure too low for liquid water.
Temperature too low.
Terraforming in the future may change conditions and allow us to live there. Ironically if we started a greenhouse effect on Mars using pollution it would start the process off to make Mars livable.

Interestingly, we have the technology to reside on Mars but we dont do it because of lack of interest...I mean, it will cost about $100 billion for this project and their is no real incentive (beyond just being cool) to live there.
Mars would have to be terraformed (transformed into a breathable planet) via man-made techniques...The most efficient is to take our efficient ways of global warming and apply the same thing to Mars, but at a bigger scale. Doing this will thicken the atmosphere and raise the temparature to support life. Then just bring plant life to convert the CO2 to oxygen and PRESTO humans can live there...Terraforming at its best on mars would take 10,000 years if we started now...If you dont do it this way then humans who go there today will ahve to live in tents and breath out of oxygen masks (in specially designed radiaiton suits) until they build oxygen filled habitats...It would be like living in house located in a unbreathable desert where when you go outside unprotected you freeze and fry to death at the same time

Dear friend,
Of course my dear friend we can reside on mars because the technologies have developed enough for that.It was said that within 10 years we could reside on mars.

In the long run i have to say no. The universe is expanding therefore eventually individual solar systems will too,,and maybe millions of years from now, VENUS may cool down enough to become inhabitable leaving both Earth and Mars freezing cold and uninhabitable.

Not likely. The atmosphere, not to mention the barren landscape could never support plants, animals and of course, humans.

not yet, we don't have sufficient knowledge about the planet in order for us to survive there.
