What does life on the Red Planet look like?

Often referred to as Earth's sister planet, Mars was once thought to be inhabited by Martians. Today, we look to colonize this cold, lifeless planet despite its harsh environments. Join us this week as Mike discusses what colonizing Mars might look like and the challenges we face for sustainment.
