Okay folks, help me out with this one

Because I don't understand. I keep seeing articles about getting people to Mars. Mars is pretty much in the area when the sun explodes sooooo I'm not sure how moving people from one planet to another can help.

Is there something that I'm not understanding?

Thanks for any good advice you can provide 🙂

Not understanding? Well, yes, this:

Mars is pretty much in the area when the sun explodes

I am not sure what you mean by that, but Mars is further from the Sun than is the Earth; and it is a cold, arid desert with no atmosphere that we could breathe.

The only sensible reason for people to visit Mars, should the round-trip and their stay on the planet be considered technically feasible and sufficiently safe - and you could find suitable volunteers - would be scientific research.
