No, i dont think that Mars will be an habitable planet. There is no evidence of life supporting there such the atmosphere or water.

Yes but not in the foreseeable future

Do you think that Mars will ever be an habitable planet?

No, causes by the Mars planet haven't any atmosphere, so it cannot be able to live on it, secondly the Mars planet haven't layers relative to Earth, so the Pregnancy currents

in Asthenosphere not be occur inside the Mars planet opposite than took place in the Earth , which it is responsibility for the magnetic pols in the Earth.

While Mars was likely a more hospitable place in its wetter, warmer past, the Red Planet may still be capable of supporting microbial life today, some scientists say.Ongoing research in Mars-like places such as Antarctica and Chile's Atacama Desert shows that microbes can eke out a living in extremely cold and dry environments, several researchers stressed at "The Present-Day Habitability of Mars" conference held here at the University of California Los Angeles this month.

No, I dont think so, for the human point of view

And not all parts of the Red Planet's surface may be arid currently — at least not all the time. Evidence is building that liquid water might flow seasonally at some Martian sites, potentially providing a haven for life as we know it.

After the Earth, Mars is the most habitable planet in our solar system due to several reasons:

  • Its soil contains water to extract.
  • It isn’t too cold or too hot.
  • There is enough sunlight to use solar panels.
  • Gravity on Mars is% that of our Earth's, which is believed by many to be sufficient for the human body to adapt to.
  • It has an atmosphere (albeit a thin one) that offers protection from cosmic and the Sun's radiation.
  • The day/night rhythm is very similar to ours here on Earth: a Mars day is hours, minutes and seconds.

The only other two celestial bodies in orbits near the Earth are our Moon and Venus.

There are far fewer vital resources on the Moon, and a Moon day takes a month. It also does not have an atmosphere to form a barrier against radiation.

Venus is a veritable purgatory. The average temperature is over degrees, the barometric pressure is that of meters underwater on Earth, and the cherry on top comes in the form of occasional bouts of acid rain. It also has nights that last for days.
