With current technology, achieving a liftoff from Mars that would allow humans to return to Earth using their entry vehicle is impossible. Until we can utilize another fuel source, it’s just a one way trip for anyone who wants to see Mars up close.

I'd go on a one way trip, even one with considerable risk. It would be the adventure of a lifetime!!

Cheers
