Don't take my word for it, but Mars is already inhabited and not ours to colonize. The people live inside of Mars in large carved-out cities with roadways and skyways. Water flows inward from its icecaps. The people control the atmosphere inside and grow all their food inside. Isn't that incredible?
...
After this event MARSIS, the Mars Express Sub-Surface Radar Altimeter, will enter into a commissioning phase for the next few weeks, before starting to look at Mars’s ionosphere during martian daylight, and to probe down below the Martian surface during the martian night.
...
...
Specific objectives of the mission are:
-Global high-resolution photo-geology at 10 m resolution
-Global spatial high-resolution mineralogical mapping of the Martian surface at 100 m resolution
-Global atmospheric circulation and high-resolution mapping of atmospheric composition
-Subsurface structures at km-scale down to permafrost Interaction of the atmosphere with the interplanetary medium.

How do you figure two races can have the exact same DNA and be so biologically different they can't survive in the same atmosphere?
A laboratory experiment simulating conditions on Mars found that certain terrestrial microorganisms called methanogens can survive in extreme Mars-like conditions involving low air pressure.

Oh, and folks... might want to look into the technical specs on the Mars radar before you get your hopes up too high. I doubt the radar will go very deep, perhaps not underground at all. Takes quite a lot of power to do that.

You have to give that more thought. Consider the separate species of same DNA evolving in different environments on our own world. Consider adaptation to see how environment affects how any species makes changes over generations to thrive. Consider separate original development.
Whole races "spawn" biologically from DNA material over evolutional time. Our bodies develop from our original beginnings to match our unique environments.
Same DNA, different makeup of the matter of our bodies, different arrangement and functions of organs, different biology. This makes us alien to each other and unable to share atmosphere.
Only one race that visits Earth has the same DNA we do, but there are a few other races of humans in the Universe, all much further advanced than we are.
