Humans on Mars

Yesterday I was watching a TV show about Mars and how to get there, there was a NASA space engineer showing his plans to go there and they seemed very possible with the current technology, so I started to wonder why the predictions are to 201x and up, they say budget but if many nations participate like in the ISS project budget wouldn

I have to wonder why anyone would want to go there in the first place or what purpose it would serve. This would be a completely different prospect to going to the Moon. As I understand things it would take about six months to get there. Then you would have to land safely & survive in a hostile environment for a given period. The most dangerous part would be in returning to Earth - unless the idea is to stay there permanently. I don't think anyone has tried that yet, even with a robot.

PS. Poly. It seems we both spend a lot of our time sitting around.   V V V

Trying to get a man on mars is even in 2010 like trying to shoot a man to the moon with a V-2.
