And I mean, even if it took billions of dollars and trillions(and possibly more) gallons of water, would it be possible? Or is it just an impossible concept?

Why? so we can live there and ruin it like we have done on earth?

According to something I saw on PBS many months ago, there are studies going on about how to create a denser atmosphere on Mars, essentially by pumping greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. The hypothesis is that it would take just 3 years to create an atmosphere that could retain moisture and produce vegetative growth in the soil.
So, I would have to think an artificial water cycle is possible.

The problem isn't getting water there, it's keeping water
there. The planet is so small that any useful atmosphere gets slowly blown out into space.
I suggest that we change our goal: mars will never be a jungle planet, but you might be able to get it to be like the tops of large moutains: cold but survivable, atmosphere thin but breathable. And then once every 100 years we have to hit it with another ice comet to replace all the Oxygen and water that was lost into space.

I say it is impossible. Maybe possible if we could move Mars closer to the Sun or some other impossible thing like that, but not really.

Not really the answer you might be looking for - but with a complete artificial environment it would be possible, on Mars maybe only a semi-artificial environment would be needed.

There are quite a few places that would desire to help human existence, as long with the aid of fact the human beings stay indoors. i might initiate with the moon, with the aid of fact it relatively is closest. Then i might subject approximately Mars. with the aid of the way, there is oxygen on Mars (as area of compounds). A production facility might desire to be build to extract it for respiratory. The stressful area may be looking people who're prepared to bypass on a manner way trip to spend something of the lives interior a tiny development.

Yes .Nothing is impossible. However before they make any improvemnt on mars,we need to do something about the Earth.
Water polution ,air particulates polution ,poison gases permeating the air we breath etc..... and so on.

Of no way. the gravity force of the planet, is insufficient to retain water and atmosphere

itll be really difficult i guess..cause the atmosphere is different....
