As above, the water, atmostpheric pressure, and temperature aren't concducive to human life. But there's another issue: response time. Right now, we have the technology to build a station on Mars. But if something went wrong, it would take us two or three years to get a repairman there!

Because it takes so long to get there, any settlement on Mars would have to be COMPLETELY self-sustaining, and that's what's really holding us up. (We couldn't even keep the International Space Station going as long as it should have).
