People have looked at Mars and wondered about it for thousands of years. It shines very brightly when it is close to earth, and has a bright red color. Less than 100 years ago, people believed that aliens lived on Mars. But many missions to Mars by unmanned space ships proved that it was a lifeless planet. Mars is the only planet that humans plan to travel to someday (the only planet right now).
