I am asking you to consider another reality where mars is much bigger and more habitual. Possibly a mars that is the size of Venus.
Would you want to go to mars if in a alternative universe it was different in these ways....
1. 90% the size of earth
2. had most of earth's gravity
3. Had 500 millibar at sea level atmosphere...Much thicker then it is currently! It would feel density wise like being 18,000 feet up on a mountain on earth.
4. The planet because of that pressure could have water within some of its warmer areas near the equator.
5. Possibly small lakes, sea's and maybe even small oceans!
6. rain and snow was possible on the planet and the entire planet wasn't totally a desert near the water.
7. Has a thick enough atmosphere to block out radiation from the sun.
8. Still has hot core that also shields the planet and its atmosphere
This planets negatives compared to earth
1. Be colder then earth as it is still further from the sun.
2. Much drier
3. Might not have the same atmosphere make up. Possibly a world where there's much more co2 still...Hell, if it is a green house gas then maybe with the denser atmosphere = a planet with temperature more like earth.
