Humans are thinking about moving to another planet (1) because the pollution on the Earth is very serious. Many people do not doubt (2) that life on Mars would be very interesting, but I am not sure. We could not play football on Mars (3) because of the low gravity. Life would be boring for me (4) if I could not play football.
