And from Wiki:

Several types of mission plans have been proposed, including opposition class and conjunction class,[6] or the Crocco flyby.[8] The lowest energy transfer to Mars is a Hohmann transfer orbit, a conjunction class mission which would involve a roughly 9-month travel time from Earth to Mars, about 500 days (16 mo)[citation needed] at Mars to wait for the transfer window to Earth, and a travel time of about 9 months to return to Earth.[9][10] This would be a 34-month trip.

Shorter Mars mission plans have round-trip flight times of 400 to 450 days,[11] or under 15 months for an opposition-class expedition, but would require significantly higher energy. A fast Mars mission of 245 days (8.0 months) round trip could be possible with on-orbit staging.[12] In 2014, ballistic capture was proposed, which may reduce fuel cost and provide more flexible launch windows compared to the Hohmann.[13]


9 months each way, and 500 (Earth) days kicking dust while you're there? No thanks

And for what? To be a couple of trillion dollars down and some Mars rocks to gloat over.

Another reason I think it's unlikely (manned trip) to happen.

The words infinite, impossible, and never seem to have different meanings for you. Along with the phrase "I know for a fact".

And yet, you still can't seem to work out that 88% is a greater amount than 12%.

Basic math's go figure.

I would go.

That would take some serious training and endurance. I bet there's only a handful of people on the planet fit for a mission like that.

I bet I could do it with ease

By the time you're talking about living permanently on Mars getting things into earth orbit has to be almost free. At that point doing fast Mars transits, which is very fuel inefficient, is fine. You send the bulk cargo on slow Hoffman transfers and fire people over on faster systems.

Initial geology field trips are a different matter

A lot of pizz-arsing about, just to - metaphorically - go "down the corner shop".

With NHI disclosure coming soon, we may find we have new technologies that can enable Highway Man to fly in his cherry picker to Mars easily!!!

Except when 88% is packed out with 90% irrelevant data.

Cant be that hard a couple of people who had trained to be up there 8 days have just done 10 months standing on their heads seemingly

With NHI disclosure coming soon

When is it due to happen?

I can do it now but not allowed to give the info out. I have been chosen to be a crew member on the first flight to Mars. I will be following in my cherry picker in case of problems.
