Question

In the science fiction book series "red mars, green mars, blue mars" the author spins a story of "terraforming" mars with the formation of oceans and a breathable atmosphere by the end of the series. the author describes a scenario, however, where the inhabitants of this fictional world were able to live relatively normally on most of the world but not on olympus mons and the tharsus region. assuming you could create a breathable atmosphere as described in the books, is the description of where you might live on mars realistic, or just spinning a yarn

Answer 1

In his fiction novels Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars Kim Stanley Robinson presents the colonization of the planet mars in three moments. First, in Red Mars the author depicts the colonial voyage aboard the Ares from planet Earth into Mars.

The author then presents the idea of making plants grow on Mars to sustain human beings in the new colonialized plant. Then in Blue Mars Mr. Robinson introduces the formation on all the necessary elements to create the water cycle on the plant and in consequence the formation of seas, rivers, lakes, and other water bodies.  Having mentioned the former we assume that a breathable atmosphere is formed in the fictional scenario in Blue Mars and that taking into account that in Green Mars the author presented the idea of plants growing in the planet, there is no possible objection to the idea of living normally on planet Mars. If we consider the fact that there is an atmosphere, water, and plants in Mars, it would seem that living in Mars is an utterly realistic panorama.
