The rationale for human exploration of Mars is built around the concept that humans will be required to address fundamental scientific questions on Mars and that Mars will be required to address fundamental questions of humanity's future. Recently, the findings of possible evidence for ancient life on Mars has focused the science goals on the search of environments where life might have arisen. Without changing the nature of the generalized strategy for scientific exploration of Mars, the scientific questions, the needs for robotic exploration, and the potential roles for humans on Mars are coming into better focus. In order to support human scientists on Mars in a safe and productive environment, initial steps will need to be taken along the path toward a permanent martian outpost. Although addressed in large part by technology, the habitability goals also can be stated in terms of scientific questions to be addressed during the robotic and early human phases of Mars exploration. This paper describes goals and objectives for Mars science and human habitation, with emphasis on the possible contributions of humans on Mars.
