>If you go, and literally anything happens to you, you are dead. Like your crewmembers are going to have to inject you with something to kill you. They will not be able to afford to watch you slowly die. Your corpse will most safely be handled by being dumped overboard.

Ok? How is that any different from Roanoke or Jamestown?

Mars is not the "New World." There's nothing there. No opportunities. No economic plan. No indigenous people. No new forests or sources of game or fertile new lands to farm. You can build nothing that wasn't given to you.

Once you arrive you will be a slave. There is literally no other possibility.

We technically possess the means to put Humans on Mars today. You really shouldn't with our barely capable level of technology and expected conditions on arrival. Your great-great-great grandchildren might be in a position to go. They will almost certainly use remote robotics to setup the planet for their arrival first.

Hence.. you're going to need 250 years. We have to build a constellation around Mars that allows us to communicate with it when it's on the other side of the Sun from Earth. With enough spares to handle failures. We're just no where near that currently.
