Environment & Geography

By 2155, the terraforming of Mars was well underway, and only thermal insulation gear and simple breathing masks were needed to venture onto the planet's surface, rather than full environmental suits.[4] By the 24th century, Mars had been completely terraformed.[7] Only 10% of Mars' surface is covered by water, nearly all of which is in freshwater lakes created from existing impact craters.[14]
