Things to make it possible:

We will need to establish habitable inflatable pods with life-support

systems and units for growing fresh food

We need to create suits that convert carbon dioxide in to Oxygen

because Mars has a 95% Carbon Dioxide rate
We need to create vehicles and housing to be able to withstand dust
storms
