The average temperature on Mars is -89 Fahrenheit. There is no soil, no crops can be grown. What is the purpose of all this fascination with an uninhabitable planet? So we can go there as we did with the Moon, but what is the point?

It’s -89 now, just wait until all the SUVs and coal plants go online, it will be a tropical paradise in no time.

grown in greenhouses and/or sealed up underground caverns.

possible but would you want to risk your life on it? at this point too many critical points of failure. any tech needed would need several backup units and also sets of critical spare parts until they get metallurgy ability and 3d printing established for other parts.

Any chance there is dormant interstellar fungi preserved on the Moon or Mars?
