Life existed on Mars long back (5000 years ago) but now no traces of life are found. In the future man can stay in Mars only after converting Carbon dioxide in the air to oxygen and by making necessary arrangement on Mars to make life compatible (eg: transporting water to Mars) but is expensive.

I suspect that there is microbial life in Mars right now, 1/2 mile down under the permafrost where liquid water still flows. If we can get a way to drill down that far and collect a sample we'll be able to culture it. Mars life will be found to be related to Earth life via panspermia 3 or 4 billion years ago.

We will have colonies on Mars and it will be partially terraformed in 200 years. The average global temperature will be slightly above the freezing point of water, there will be seas, rivers, rain and snow. Atmospheric pressure will only be about 1/2 that of Earth's and will be mostly CO2 and nitrogen; not breathable.

Can we exist IN Mars? Yes, very likely. If we tunneled under the surface, we would be protected from the untraviolet rays. We now know that there is water on Mars, so we could manufacture oxygen and grow our own food.

Is there any life on Mars? - We don't know yet, but any life is likely on the microscopic scale.

We can exist, in protected environment originally but later through a process called terraforming (making Mars in the long run green, breathable a bit like our Earth) we should be able to walk out in the open. The problem is that due to gravity difference, people might not be able to return to the Earth any more after they have spent some time there. Because they wouldn't be able to walk again on Earth, that is!

Life in Mars we don't know for sure it exists or not. There might be and there are space projects for that to find out. But if there is should be at bacterial level. In that respect, these are the real Martians!

Any life which may exist there must be adapted to extreme conditions. We couldn't survive unaided there, because the atmosphere is very thin, is made of CO2 anyway, all the water is frozen up at the poles, and it's too cold.
Of course, if we warmed it up and put some plants in, it might be possible to make it habitable. There is still the issue of Mars's lack of a magnetic field, which restricts its capacity to protect the surface from solar radiation, even if we did install a proper atmosphere.

Of couse, we can exist in Mars.. as long as your definition of 'exist' includes dying or being dead.

We humans cannot breath the Martian atmosphere, and the temperature is way too cold for plants as we know them to flourish.

Just because Mars would be hostile to you and me, however, does not mean that other forms of life couldn't exist, nor does it mean that life as we know it never could have existed there, nor that it couldn't exist there in the future.

That's why we keep sending probes and rovers, is to find out.

There is not life in Mars right now.
But we could live there if the technology is developed enough!

Not "in" Mars but maybe on Mars if we built a condo there first..

after we terraform mars. if there's life on mars it would have to be in the form of bacteria living in the martian soil.

men may can exist in mars but not women since it is said that ''men are from mars and women are from venus'
