(1) Mars is beyond current technology. Only machines can live in there.
Any human expedition to Mars is just science fiction.

Actually, NASA was planning on going to Mars right after Apollo, back in
the early 1970s. This technology is almost 40 years old.

Planning on doing something is not even remotely connected to the
ability to do it. Folks were planning to go to the moon in the 40's,
and 50's - despite the lack of technology to do so. It is very
instructive to look back and see how very wrong they were about so
many things.
