Will Mars ever be habitable?

Elon Musk's mission to populate Mars seems to be always on trend, even when nobody is particularly talking about it.

It's been several years since the announcement of such an endeavour, and in 2020 we've seen some stories about the first space crew for this grand mission (even though nothing has been finalised).

Once they will set foot on Mars, there's no turning back - other crews in batches will likely join them, and then colonies, cities and civilisations will be formed on the Red Planet, and it will cease to be one of the lonely occupants of our universe, hanging around through the passage of time.
