Mars is a lot farther from Earth than the moon, but can't humans go and live there? ICR Astrophysicist Dr. Jason Lisle gives his perspective on the difficulties in traveling to and colonizing the red planet.

This video news clip is from the Q&A section of Dr. Jason Lisle's Journey Through Space: A View of the Solar System.
