Answer:

But Mars has no magnetosphere, and its atmosphere is over 100 times thinner than Earth's atmosphere. The trip to Mars and the stay on Mars will mean extended radiation exposure. Astronauts will need special habitats, suits, and machines that will protect them from radiation, which otherwise could cause cancer.
