Strange title, since we've known for a long time that Mars has an atmosphere unlike our own.

  I think people think that living on mars would be similar to living on Earth, and weather is a good start point to educate humanity

    People can't grasp the concept of weather on the planet they live on.

    Even setting aside that it's 95% CO2 and incredibly cold, most people have no appreciation for how thin the Martian atmosphere is. Surface pressure is 0.6% that of Earth, with maximum density 2% that of Earth's. It's not like Martian explorers could get away with just a respirator.
