TL;DR - Big rocket launches, refuels, and heads to Mars on solar power.
I'm hoping there are more details about living conditions, habitats on planet, and other aspects of such a trip. While other companies may eventually provide solutions to those parts of an expedition, I fully expect SpaceX to have to figure it out for the first few trips...
