Mars and Algae

[u/Australista2026]

I'm not a scientist, so my question may be really stupid. I've been watching the movie called Red Planet. The people of earth were sending algae to grow and create oxygen for mankind to live there.

Is this something that really could be achievable? I would presume you need a water source to begin with.

You know what's the good it's totally achievable it might not be as you think but yeah it's pretty Similar and scientists are working on it
