Second, how do humans get food, water and air to live on Mars? Scientists should be able to develop 5 that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that humans need.

However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than 8 on the earth today. Food won't be the same. 9 it won't be as delicious as it is today. Also, space travel will make many people 10 ill. The spacecraft will travel fast, so the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
