Forget Mars, I want to live on Jupiter!
Try suggesting something actually possible with our current technology and economy and also is possible.
One Dragon Capsule and One Falcon 9 Heavy would allow for a Mars direct mission and return. (~140million USD for the launch vehicle alone). Rather cheap in comparison to previous launch costs. And that is ignoring better solutions like NEO-asteroids repurposed as Earth-Mars cyclers.
So mocking the concept of going to Mars makes you look foolish given the current successes and progress of the commercial rocketry industry.
