It's really not, if we could terraform Mars it is entirely habitable by humans. It even has a roughly 24 hour day.
"Surface temperatures have been estimated from the Viking Orbiter Infrared Thermal Mapper data; this gives extremes from a warmest of 27 °C (81 °F) to −143 °C (−225 °F) at the winter polar caps."
Ah, well there's your problem. Too cold! Or is the equator a more reasonable temperature?
Is it Mars that scientists think used to have an atmosphere but it eventually dissipated? I used to know so much about this stuff..
