  No way, even though it rains a lot here- I think I’d prefer it on earth. I’d like a holiday there, though…

  No, I’d be bored rigid!

  It’s really cold on Mars, all the time! The average temperature is about -63°C. The atmosphere there is also really thin, and really dusty – not breathable at all. It basically means that if I was on Mars, I’d have to stay inside a pressurised cabin all the time, and wear a huge space suit every time I went outside. Not much fun I think, Earth’s the place for me…

  No, it’s freezing there! I like being warm and being able to breathe.
