Is it logical for human space exploration to focus on Mars?

I think it is very logical for human space exploration to focus on Mars. Space exploration focuses on Mars for many reasons. Let's list them one by one.

Mars is a planet closer to the earth. The reason why the Martian rocks are close to the planet is because the nearest planet to the earth is Venus. However, the environment on the surface of Venus is so bad that high temperature and high pressure are very unfavorable for human probes to land and explore. The distance to the moon is closer than that of the earth, but the moon has been visited many times. Jupiter, Saturn and their surrounding satellites are very far from the earth, so it is difficult to fly there. So it seems that only Mars is relatively close to the earth, only 55 million kilometers. Exploring Mars is relatively easy.

Mars used to have a climate similar to that of the earth. Human exploration of Mars found that Mars is very similar to the Earth except that there is no water. Although there is no water on the surface of Mars, there are signs of water everywhere on the surface of Mars. Scientists have found that Mars once had rivers, lakes and oceans 4 billion years ago. Scientists are interested in why Mars has now become a desert planet. Understanding the reason why Mars loses water is helpful to better protect the earth's environment.

Have life scientists on Mars ever found Martian meteorites in the South Pole of the Earth? Structures similar to life fossils were found in meteorites. This fossil has caused widespread controversy in the scientific community. Whether there is life on Mars in the past and now is a question that scientists are very interested in. The argument is of little practical significance. Only by launching a Mars probe or landing on Mars directly can we solve the mystery. If there are fossils of paleontology or oases of life on Mars, it means that life can blossom everywhere in the universe as long as conditions permit.

Mars exploration promotes high technology. Many people think that there is no practical significance for human beings to explore the universe. It is better to spend these amazing expenses on people's livelihood. In fact, space exploration is closely related to the lives of ordinary people. Many scientific and technological products used in our life come from space exploration. Mars exploration is a lot of high-tech experimental sites. For example, atmospheric braking technology, remote control technology, that is, remote communication and so on. Can be actually tested and applied on Mars.

Public Enthusiasm for Mars Exploration Due to historical reasons, the public's enthusiasm for Mars culture in various countries is unmatched by other planets. Exploring Mars is easier to gain public support and attention.

Mars is the home of the future, and the resources on earth are limited. With the development of human society, it is bound to immigrate from other planets. Looking at the planets in the solar system, only Mars has the closest environment to the Earth. After human transformation, the future Mars can become the second home of human beings.
