Isn't it a far harsher environment than Earth or the Moon, especially with regards to exposure to radiation?It's also a one-way trip for whoever volunteers for the mission. There isn't any technology in existence for a return trip back to earth. They'll either die during the trip there, or on mars. It's a harsh reality.
It’s not inherently undoable. The dangers of getting to Mars, living on Mars, and getting back from Mars can be overcome with improvements in technology.
Going to Mars is not impossible. Silly, stupid, and pointless, sure. But not impossible.
