Is it possible to start civilization on mars in near future
we all know that mars is the closest planet to earth and has no oxygen and yet no traces of water is found but still is there any possibility ?

Unlikely i would think.
I mean you might be able to justify spending as space technology often creates new lines of innovation for subsequent uses in our world along the way. But What would you do once you got there ?
You'd need one mission with enough fuel and supplies to keep the astronauts alive for at least a year as it takes between 150-300 days to get there depending on where Earth is in the solar system at the time of launch, orbit and landing.
That crew might be able to set up basic life-support systems in terms of creating some sort of breathable atmosphere. Even if it were just in living quarters.
But you'd need follow up missions to be able to relieve the crew fairly regularly as lack of gravity causes the body to atrophy pretty quickly.
All that and the question of what do you do in the case of injury or death while you're out there still has to be thought through.

@Picklebobble2thanks for such a detailed info but will we ever be able to live on mars in a controlled environment, like cultivating, procreating etc
I am certain in next 100-150 years we will be looking for life on other planets as soon this planet is going to be over populated and polluted

@scottamadore2 But it doesn't make sense to live on Mars.
Mars has shocking radiation levels alone where the sun hits it because there's no protective atmosphere.
Could try the Moon. That might make more sense.
If you could set up some sort of life support on the moon and eventually a base from which to go out and explore....
But the physics alone involved in trying to create a vehicle that could take off from the moon and travel fast enough to wherever you want to go and safely return still hasn't been created i don't think.

@Picklebobble2 yes mars has no ozone that is true hence I asked a controlled environment
and moon is also an option but its gravitational force is very less
lets Hope if we can innovate a medium for intergalactic travel
