“Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, it’s cold as Hell”

And then another amazingly stupid line:
“And there’s no one there to raise them if you did”

So apparently you would need someone on Mars to raise your kids for you if you lived there.

Temperature:

The temperature on Mars may reach a high of about 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) at noon, at the equator in the summer, or a low of about -225 degrees Fahrenheit (-153 degrees Celsius) at the poles. Obviously this is very inhospitable for humans, but it is also of some concern for the electronics and mechanical parts of a Mars airplane and its instrumentation. In the mid-latitudes, the average temperature would be about -50 degrees Celsius with a nighttime minimum of -60 degrees Celsius and a summer midday maximum of about 0 degrees Celsius

Mars needs a strong magnetic field to shield cosmic radiation. How you gonna terraform that?

I know that banded iron and chert were rocks they were looking for on mars as they would be indicative of Cyanobacteria. I don’t think they have yet found anything like that.
