The air pressure on the planet Mars is extremely low. A person exposed to such low air pressure would therefore be injured by the internal pressure of his or her own body, which is adapted to the Earth's atmosphere. Even aside from that, the atmosphere of Mars does not contain oxygen, so any person trying to breathe it would die from lack of oxygen. However, a person could live on Mars, just as a person could live on the moon, as long as that person remained inside a space suit or other air-tight container, which would provide the right kind of air pressure and oxygen to breathe.

Have humans or human-made objects traveled to mars or on it?

Man-made objects have traveled to Mars, zoomed by Mars and kept going, crashed on Mars, entered orbit around Mars, and landed on Mars. At least three of them are presently creeping around on the surface of Mars under the command and control of their own on-board software and controllers on Earth, performing scientific experiments and observations, and communicating their findings back to Earth. The only astronomical body other than Earth around which humans have entered orbit or upon which humans have walked is the moon ... roughly 1/2 of 1 percent of the distance from here to Mars.
