I think a lot of you are underestimating (what I read so far in comments) how much risk would people be ready to take. I would totally take this serious, it isn't convenient to go now for me, but in 10 yrs time, or less, I think this would be something I would really like to do. And I wouldn't be bothered by being confined in small space. However, I already can think of ways to expand that space, so this assumptions are not quite correct. I would probably not live super long due to radiation, but I would accept this for chance to go somewhere no-one had gone before. I am fairly confident that living on Mars would bring significant discoveries.
