We're talking about sending people to Mars, but at the end of this fantastic journey, where will they live?
Likely in...a cave.
Caves shield from the radiation that bombards Mars (no magnetic field = no global protection). So it's very likely that Martian outposts will be built, at least to start with, inside caves and lava fields. Some of these caves have skylights, so you would be able to grow food in them.
Of course, the small issue is that if there's any life remaining on Mars...it's probably going to be using those caves.
