Don't worry, Mars can be terraformed and made fairly habitable. With the further distance from the sun, and it's three times thicker atmosphere (but not more pressurized, because lower gravity) means that getting sunburns and such will be easier. However solar flares may pose a large threat. In the near future (2100 - 2500) humanity will most likely have the technology to implement a planetary artificial magnetic field on Mars, right around the time when Mars becomes fully habitable (oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere, vast swathes of forests and grasslands)

>As of May 2010, 7,075 near-Earth asteroids are known,[14] ranging in size up to ~32 kilometers (1036 Ganymed).[16] The number of near-Earth asteroids over one kilometer in diameter is estimated to be 500 - 1,000.
