why people still don't live on mars?

One more thing, you need a house in mars because usually almost everyday there is a storm in mars. Those storms are dangerous for us.
the problem is that the earth has enough heat for us but not enough heat on mars. it can get up to -225 Fahrenheit. pretty cold.

Because it's quite difficult. Mars is, on average, 140 million miles away from the Earth. Imagine how much time would you spend in space, with 0 gravity, feeding yourself. Months and months...

Once you reach there, there's no oxygen to breath. You'll have to keep on breathing the sources that you have. It has a lot of CO2, and you could remove the Carbon to create Oxygen. There is quite a lot of frozen water, you could warm it to use it, maybe producing Hydrogen to use as fuel, to come back to Earth.

To go to the Moon, and come back, Nasa has managed to spend 140 billion dollars, converting to the actual value. Just to go a couple of times there, and to go back. Once there were no more public interest into doing it, because it was wildly expensive, they stopped doing trips to the moon.

140 Billion Dollars is about 1% of the Entire GDP of the U.S.A., it can be worth it, but it's expensive.

To go to Mars, it would cost more than a Trillion Dollars, for sure, and they would have to come back, somehow. Building a colony there would be much most costly than that, and society needs to get much wealthier to do it.
