八、Life on Mars will be different from that on the earth. In order to walk on Mars, people have to wear special boots. It will not be a dream any longer that we can live in large and comfortable houses. The public transport will be more developed and it will not pollute the environment. People will have a chance to visit its two satellites, but most of them will prefer to watch low gravity basketball matches there. I think living on Mars will come true one day. We’d better get everything ready before it comes.
