The Real Issues Going to Mars
Physically sending a space ship to Mars isn't the issue. It is life support. Astronauts lose something like 2% of their bone density per 30 days on average in zero gravity and they also have serious issues containing and mitigating CO2 levels in space.
Rocket ships are cool - but life support is the real issue.
