For any sufficiently motivated person or group, it won't take a SpaceX Falcon to get a payload of extremophiles to Mars. A Cubesat (or other cheap, small satellite) on the Interplanetary Transport Network could work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CubeSat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CubeSat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Transport_Network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Transport_Netwo...
