Well I think they will do it... but it will be a dead man. You see you will die of cosmic radiation before reaching mars. Unless your ship is 18” thick lead. Not likely anytime soon.

I always wondered if a trip to Mars would be a one way suicide trip for someone, with no hope of bringing them back, even if they did survive to get there in the first place.
