A long-term goal for the exploration and settlement of Mars, in the minds of many, is to "terraform" the Red Planet, making it more like the Earth and better habitable by human beings.
Is the "Face on Mars" a natural formation, or was it the work of something else? Discovered by the Viking mission in 1976, and reimaged by the Mars Global Surveyor, the controversy continues on whether the Face is a geologic landform or an artificial structure.
The Mars Society is a non-profit grassroots organization founded in 1998 and dedicated to the exploration and settlement of the Red Planet. The Mars Society operates a program of analog research stations to help scientists plan for the human exploration of Mars.
