I'm almost 71 now, and I hope I live long enough to see Man set foot on Mars.
Have faith my man. Walk plenty and keep yourself busy. All the best to you.
@@MrEncore91 I'm so busy I don't know weather to wind my butt or scratch my watch!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry you won’t. It’ll be a woman of colour.
Sorry you won’t. It’ll be a woman of colour.
Having served on a nuclear submarine that was over 360 feet long, had three decks, both extracted its oxygen and distilled its potable water from seawater, had plenty of storage for food, operated in a gravity present environment, was relatively comfortable, and could surface in an emergency...I sincerely wish the Mars crew good luck with a mission extending beyond a year.
Yeah, not going to happen is it really
The whole Mars thing is just pure propaganda . There is no way our technology can send humans there . In order to do so we need first to have proper propulsion for our rockets and not a second WW technology in order to reduce the time of the journey because of radiation and lack of gravity . We will need 50 years of first really managing to stay on the moon in order to send people to Mars and during that time AI might be implemented into sophisticated human type robots that can handle the journey and do any job on Mars .
I would hope that the flight to Mars will take advantage of all of ideas available. I hope they will take ideas from subs give astronauts space to live. Could you imagine going to Mars in an Applo style ship?
@@danielsweeney6742 What's an Applo style ship?
I thought I saw a woman submariner touted as an astronaut. Lots of spurious studies mentioned. My favorite. If not given enuf space the crew will go mad.
In my 70s now and wish I could be here to see this achieved. Glad I got to see A. Shepard go sub orbit to Armstrong go manual safe landing on the moon. Best wishes to all future pioneers!!
You will be here don’t worry 💙
thank you brother
What a time to be alive: watching Alan Shepard and hearing the ominous beeps of Sputnik... I'm only old enough to see the wall come down, but to have seen and bear witness to those events that led to that moment, must have been truly amazing.
@@Itsmytest It was, and still is!
I was 8 years old when I watched the first men land on the Moon, and I've been waiting for them to get to Mars ever since. I hope I'll still be alive to see it happen.
Spacex planning to land humans on Mars as early as 2028.
Me too
Hopefully the Chinese can do it, after 50 years its pretty much out of the question for anything associated with the USA to make it. The red tape space x is dealing with will bankrupt them first.
@@infernoplexx9562 🤣And Nasa was planning on 1980.🤣 Still waiting....
@@infernoplexx9562 I highly doubt it my geometric friend
Best of luck to the first crew to Mars, most likely they won't be seen again, it won't be as easy as these video's portray that trip to be, the time it will take, how almost every mechanical device must work, the Van Allen radiation belt to go thru, the need to get along with one another for such a long period of time, and the space hazards as the vehicles travel thru space beyond the Moon, the odds are not in their favor, lots of luck.
On top of that the Rover Samples also need to come back
You are correct. It's easy to make a plan on paper. A very different thing to execute effectively
We are still very prehistoric when you come to space travel. Rockets are like old school
😂
They may be old school, but we have no alternative. The wheel is also old school, but it does not mean it is not still the best solution to the problem.
Human Technology is constantly advancing. At some point we'll use new propulsion systems and methods of travel to explore our universe
If landing on Mars is going to be an island hopping venture, such as first having a base on the moon and then jumping off from there, don't hold your breath, if the last 55 years progress can be extrapolated into the future, ain't no way it's going to happen in 200 or more years. It's nice to dream but a dream without a goal is a hallucination
Send me to mars , i'm already spending all my time alone 🥲 . Being stuck in a spaceship with 2-3 people is an upgrade to my social situation 😅
Consider getting out and actually talking to people. It might be more productive than a suicide mission.
@@davebryant8050I agree. Go to the library and challenge yourself to talk to someone. Only small talk. “A bit chilly outside”, “when you’re finished with that book, can I get it”…….
😂😂😂😂
@@davebryant8050I can't believe how dense you are. What are you even doing?
poor guy
Until the Trip to Mars can be made in less than a week I am fine right here on earth .
Currently fastest is 9-7 months. I am sure that will be rapidly reduced once we use nuclear energy to proper the trip. Would be easier and faster to return to earth from Mars.
You won't live to see the day when regular folks can go.
@@lmdetect trip for normal folks will be 2030. R u living in a cave?
2030 will be the 2nd colony trip. Will be open for normal people.
"can be made in less than a week... fine right here on earth".... why? There's Nothing your doing in your life now that you cant be doing on the ship to mars. (For alot of people generally) :)... not trying to pick a fight. Its just kinda true. :)
Bone loss, muscle atrophy, blood pooling - gonna be a hell of a ride. I would be surprised if they could even survive returning to Earth.
Yes, got over come lack of gravity
Going to Mars is a suicide mission.
How do they get above 62 miles high
Don't forget the solar radiation. Sorry but we are not going anytime soon. Might want to focus on fixing things here first.
You forgot to add galactic radiation ☢️. Radiation not from our sun but from beyond the solar system. Further from our sun you get, the more galactic radiation gets you
I’m sure SpaceX will greet them and take them out to dinner a few days after arriving.
You go. I will stay home.
It took 25 years to get JWST in Space, so I don't see a manned space craft that can stay on Mars for practical reasons and usage for at least 25 more years, and that's being super optimistic 😂
Yep. These ultra-Mars enthusiasts are seriously deluded in their forcasted timelines. Much of all this hoopla originates with Musk, and is just publicity for SpaceX, I believe. But, 20 or fewer years from now, Musk's idealistic forecasts are going to create a negative mood towards him and SpaceX because of unfullfilled dreams and actual delusions.
I'd estimate 125years.
100 years.
Short stay using a gravity assist around Venus is incredible. Imagine being the crew on that ship. Not only do you get to see Mars up close, but you also get to see Venus, too.
No. The alignment that favors this trip are too rare to be worthwhile.
AND NO SEX? I'LL STAY IN MY SMALL TOWN AND HAVE A GOOD TIME ON A SATURDAY NIGHT. 💅💃
Imagine is all anyone can do.
Your trip around Venus, I’m afraid, will be rather disappointing. You won’t be seeing much. What you’ll see are orange, seared cloud tops with occasional flashes of lightning. Nothing more. You won’t be seeing the ground of Venus. There’s no rivers, lakes, or oceans, as it’s a very dry planet, the hydrogen element of it’s water having been stripped off into space eons ago due to the lack of a magnetic field. Venus has an incredibly SLOW retrograde spin that makes it’s day longer than it’s year. Yet there’s no place to escape from the suffocating heat unless you can “float” in the upper reaches of the atmosphere, where it’s cooler and the pressures won’t squeeze you flat.
Going to Venus is better in the first place, closer, floating colonies can be built in the atmosphere, and gravity is very similar to Earths.
This is good! Wow, lots of comments. I appreciate the work you put into this. Thank you for the entertainment.. I watch The Space Race often.
Love the TKS nod in one of the animations! 😍
I once went on a Mars simulator at an amusement park when I was a little girl. It was a bumpy ride, took about 10 minutes!
Thank you for your service
@@pirax5552she's the real hero.
Wow! Thanks for sharing.
You sure it was a simulator and not just the janitor?
Not even mentioning Mars or even the permanent Moon base, just the phrase “Lunar Gateway Space Station” brings me so much joy and chills 😅☺️
It's all fake
Very interesting video!.Man on Mars is a must........I watched the 1st men walk on the moon, and hope to see the 1st astronauts walk on Mars (that's the only thing on my bucket list) at 74 years old I hope they speed the whole process up!
ayo star wars is about to be real. i use to dream of walking on mars. i can not wait wait for this man. i hope i live to see this
By the time they build something I'd feel comfortable taking that trip on, I'll be long gone but I do hope I live to see people land on Mars
1ST LETS TAKE BABY STEPS MOON 1ST OK. TIL THIS DAY ITS IMPOSSIBLE
Just wonderful! I feel so upbeat! Ever since my childhood, space exploration never failed to ignite my imagination.
Nuclear thermal rocket engine sounds like something Wil-E-Cyote would chase the Roadrunner with, but with DARPA involved, probably much more likely to work. Very interesting!
Till goes pop
In one word: ''Deadly.'' Goooood luck to the first adventurers...do send postcards!
imagine being on a coach flight for 2 years?
Economy Plus.
I'll take the exit row.
Beans and wienies again tonight ?
What is the next up from economy plus
Won't be flying for 2 years gowls😅
400 day return? That is almost unbelivable, I think the plan will change as we get closer and technology gets better.

I am really loving the details here, and the idea that innovation is going to make things quicker and easier than we know at this moment. Great video.

@@jelink22 And if not, it's because you're not wishing hard enough!
All this money spent on this pipe dream could be better spent on solving the problems on this Earth planet !
The ignorance...
@@greenblood6186your right, this is much better than curing cancer.
The research for such trip is what ends up as the next technology you use to make life easier.
A waste of money and earth resources to go to a planet where nothing grows. I totally agree with your comment.
Let’s get the launch and landing right before we start worrying about the journey
Just got Apple TV and we are watching For All Mankind. It’s a great show and wonderful to thinking that these things HAVE and WILL come to pass!
Space is so vast i wonder how far we will travel but we have a few billion years to come up with something
Google "The Great Filter"
A hundred years from now we'll still be planning a Mars mission. Just an opinion. A bit like nuclear fusion.
Agree!
Ah so you have the inside scoop on it then? I know a journalist who would pay you a few thousand for your sources and story if you'd like.
@@Mikhail-Tkachenko Why would you do that? We know this fantasy trip to Mars is not happening in the next 10 years. The James Webb telescope took a zillion years to build and put into space. Now think about landing humans on Mars.
Exactly. If humans have not regressed into the Era of Stupidity.
Nuclear Fusion is never going to be viable, even if they manage to do it. However, there are no insurmountable technical issues will getting to Mars and establishing a permanent presence. Quite why anyone would want to go there is beyond my understanding, it sounds like a vision of Hell to me.
I hope I live long enough to see a thriving community of humans in space.
Really? Why? I would never give up living on Earth to move to such an uninhabitable (and dangerous) environment. Now if they found an Earth twin (or better) and had a way to get there in a few weeks, maybe.
@@apollo11guy Why did people first sail the oceans (a completely inhospitable environment for humans). It's part of our nature to want to explore.
@@igg3937 Those early guys were looking to make a buck. And you can hardly compare the ocean to outer space in terms of hazards. They didn't know what to expect; we know how bleak Mars is. And for what?
@@apollo11guy Expanding human knowledge? Conquering something difficult? Multiple reasons. People don't just explore to "make a buck".
@@igg3937 Columbus did. And it did not cost nearly as much as this Mars stuff is going to cost. Are people really going to want to leave earth and move there?
The disc shape must be launched in pie slices/ Vandenberg facility.
At night, Mars temperature is 100 to 190 degrees below zero (F). They should definitely bring a warm sweater.
And some long johns.
I would insist on taking my leccy blanky too.
Just like the moon. Been there, done that.
My thoughts are that it's a crazy thing expecting people to travel for two years in such a confined object and an out of this world experience,the astronauts must be very brave but what about the families they leave behind,I think it's an impossible mission, just remember how lighthouse keepers found it difficult to cope in isolation for several weeks so imagine years,ya can't imagine it.
Plus they probably won't return. The first will die up there. Things go wrong.
Adam Tyrell. Yes it does sound very daunting and dangerous, but I really believe that there will be people who are willing to undertake the challenge. They will be very special people with very high qualifications and training, very psychologically stable and very physically fit and their spirit of adventure and determination will overcome any fear they may have.🎉
It’s essentially a suicide mission for the betterment of mankind
@@travisgrant5608 It's worse. They die for nothing... leaving Earth to claim a dead, utterly sterile, radiation soaked ball of rock and toxic dust. Our culture has really messed up values and priorities.
training, dedication...First crew will rewrite the history books..
Exciting times, I hope I’m still around to see mard landing 👍🌙🚀🚀
We are two hundred years away from going to Mars
At least
and half that to the moon.

@@EvanDaniell thanks friend! Much appreciated
A 2 year journey without gravity. I'll have to see it to believe it. Until they work out a viable artifical gravity system, any manned venture to Mars is going to be difficult if not impossible.
Totally agree, among all the other seemingly intractible problems of actually staying on Mars for over two years. IOWs, we could probably get there, but what about living there for over two years? ISS astronauts that spend more than 6 months on the station come back to Earth totally fucked up! We have no idea how to keep people alive off Earth for 9 months transit to Mars, 2 years and 2 months there, and 9 months return to Earth. The ISS is pretty large, and, with an average of six astronauts stationed there at a time, it has to be resupplied with oxygen, water, food, and medical supplies every MONTH for Christ's sake!
I wanted more of what a journey would be like
,awesome ,keep moving forward
We better work out a cure for cancer first, the radiation for the long stay would damage the human body severely.
no doubt the astronauts will be DOA, or dead on arrival
Yep. We really don't know what will happen at a cellular level.
We have the ability to shield it.
@@christianterrill3503Chinese military scientists believe the tardigrade’s cells improve a human's ability to withstand radiation and potentially other diseases
I have suggested using older folks, like me, on these missions. That way, if something goes wrong, it’s not a loss of someone in their prime. Likewise, we are far enough on, in years, that cancer doesn’t have as much of a chance to entrench itself.
This was a great video, but I ESPECIALLY loved seeing some of my videos featured in it! Thanks for the shoutout! Really fun. As I've been talking with some NASA engineers and scientists lately, there really does seem to be a big push from within the community to either send humans to Venus before Mars (although not to land) or, as you mentioned, to at least travel to Mars via a Venusian gravity assist. Venus is just far easier (and cheaper and faster) to travel to and return from than Mars. Again, not to land, but to study the planet from a few hundred or thousand kilometers above. In either case, very exciting to get to visit not just one but TWO planets on our way to a Mars mission! We'll be making a video on our channel about this soon, but really cool to see it mentioned here.
Amazing content!! Appreciate your work
not like you havent been yet. classified yes?
But you will never land on Venus - too hot and too toxic. So why go?
After that long in weightlessness, they'll arrive at Mars as just a couple of sacks of water. Design a spinning living chamber to create 1g (or a little more.) Very tricky engineering, but it can be done.
Sick video bro.
Wonderful! ❤
Sorry to say 'Not quite there yet' is a bit of an understatement. Just a few scientific impossibilities to overcome before we get to Star Trek. Travelling Faster than Light, Mechanical teleportation -that sort of thing.
According to the late (and great) theoretical physicist Freemon Dyson, it would take the equivalent energy of the entire Milky Way Galaxy to warp space like Captain Kirk and Company. That's not just the energy emanating from the Galaxy's 200 Billion Plus suns, but the potential energy contained in every ATOM of this Galaxy!
"Sorry... 'Not quite there yet' is a bit of an understatement".... DEI, BLM, CRT, LEGBHGF+.... get your priorities straight human. AI aint got those concerns and will solve FTL Travel quickly. My Predic
Outstanding.
Hope the journey will happen in our lifetime!
Nice thing is NASA when they land can go for a drink at SpaceX Mars bar.
I asked SpaxeX to name that bar after me for a million dollars. "Bart's Mars Bar." Wouldn't you know, they don't need the money. Curses NASA!
I’m sure Spacex will send over a taxi (based on a Tesla) to pick up any NASA astronauts for a visit to Elon City.
Water will be very hard to come by on Mars, so I doubt they'll use a drop of it to brew beer. That's just Musk and his typical bullshit. [edit] Whatever water they'll be able to extract, detoxify, purify, and filter will be used to drink, make oxygen, or feed food crops. (And btw, good luck growing anything in Martian "soil" eh, regolith, because that Martian dirt is a toxic cocktail riddled with perchorates, arsenic, lead, and mercury.)
Knowing Elon there will be a brothel there too.
@@Cwra1smith for sure. Basically total recall IRL
Not sure if Mars can be a habitable planet considering that it’s gravity is a fraction to that on Earth, it’s just not suited for human life, It’s probably a better idea to construct Mall-sized living space ecosystems with either centripetal or centrifugal motion to create artificial gravity. We could print the parts in space and assemble it all in space. Sure, do the Mars stations and exploration but gravity is the elephant in the room that needs to be front and center in the continuing need to journey out into the heavens. Without solving Earth-like gravity problem, we might as well scrape the idea of routine long-hall space exploration.
We are going to have to develop a [TSH] Telescoping Star-ship HAB 10 to 12 levels to build the first over 400d foot for gravity. 1 70 ft 6 to 8 docks with 2 HABs should transport 50 crew. 2 HUB, 4 tranker, 2 Transports/10 crew HAB, 2 Cargo/Transports.
thank you very much
It is sad the US did not settling the Moon 45 years ago.
true, society could be so much more advanced if we did
Too bad all the funding went from one war to the next.
@@801oap yep
But the US decided to give billions of dollars to Israel every years instead. Never forget USS Liberty.
Yes, they could have had a great moon base today to allow them to build and service other rockets.
Great goals but seems highly unlikely that this will ever happen due to the costs and risks involved.
Dreams 40. When I was little I asked my mother if we would ever have colour tv and she said she didn’t think so, but years later here we are with colour tv!😅

i like how you, as well as nasa, make it sound so doable :) i wish humans lived longer. hopefully it happens before im an old man
It won't we haven't even landed on the moon yet we all been scammed by the government its all bs
@@michaelmcmillan8815 Only BS is what's coming out of your mouth.
I sure hope we land on Mars during my lifetime! (I am not in my first youth) I would really like to witness that!

Are you 3- or 4-years young? Then it probably will probably happen in your last few years on earth, when you are about 89- or 93-years young.
Maybe you will be reincarnated.
Have you guys forgotten about SpaceX? I thought they were going to send the Starship to Mars and build a colony.
Still, I'm thinking 25 years from now, we will actually have a Crew on Mars, money and human safety being the serious considerations:(
Dream on.
Elon Musk should go to Mars. One way.
Space x is the only way we get to Mars lol 😂
@@sentientflower7891why?

Wonderful cartoon and plan. Now, all they have to do is figure out how not to die from exposure to radiation after a few months on the Mars.
Loved this video. Great to see a lifelong dream of exploration of space become a reality. Thanks for the time your team takes to enlighten our minds & renew our aspirations
making a video isn't the same as reality
A manned mission to Mars with current and near future tech is a suicide mission. Remember, the worst day in Antartica is infinitely better than the best day on Mars!
GO BACK TO YOUR TV !! admars2
They need to explore honesty by admitting we never landed on the moon.
ARE U PEOPLE DUMB, THE MOON LANDING WAS A FAKE & GOVERNMENT ALREADY HAS TELEPORTATION TO MARS & WORMHOLES CLASSIFIED
It will be just like the trip to the moon, pretend and imagined.
Nice try
The trip to Mars is going to feel like another day in paradise compared to how it's going to be when you actually get to Mars. if your plan is to learn how to survive as you go along then you''re going to die.
Colossal wast of money. Not to mention it would be a suicide mission.
My brother's first job out of college was with Mac Dac, building bits of the ISS, or the Boeing Space Station, it's nick name after Boeing bought macdac. We've been science geeks since birth, Dad was USAF electronics and Motor Pool trainer, If it drove on base he could drive it, and teach you how to as well. thanks for the videos
2 yrs. Is an insane amount of time.
Cool! Merci.
My children’s grandchildren will still be in the lifetime of planning a trip to Mars lol.
It’s very exciting to look ahead to see what the future is gonna be like.🚀🤓⚡️
We make it to Mars, we colonise Mars, we make its atmosphere breathable, then where to next.
Day one, they are all professional. Halfway through the trip, they decided into groups and start hating each other. By the time they reach Mars, no one will be left.
Lord of the Flies
Where did all this information come from? Specifically the Artemis 10+ missions and Mars mission durations? Adding your sources to the description would allow people to get more info and would be a great way to maintain credibility!
I first heard most this back in the 1970's, not much has changed.
The blooming space-age blows my mind and inspires me to get healthy and finish my education so that I can experience these monumental times... Imagine what the world could accomplish together...
This would make a good science fiction movie. That's about all this is. Even the tiny part about colonizing the Moon... infrastructure there... living there... manufacturing and processing facilities there... producing and making what you need there... If the countries of the world got together and attempted it, that one little part alone is still a pipe dream.
Would be great if SpaceX gets there first!!!
Don t worry they will film it in a studio like the moon landings ,nobody was hurt😂
They already have hired CGI movie producer James Cameron ( maker of those Avatar movies) full time for the I.S.S. videos.
And the morons will believe its real
Nobody ever talks about the "Moondogs"!
Or the Clangers.
One step at the time,one journey at the time,one Galaxie at the time ⏲️ ✨️ 🙏
I always put these vids on to go sleep but I never end up sleeping because of how interested I am 🤦🏻♀️
Same here!
If the starship fleet of 1k is realized than there is no reason we won’t be able to build small star trek sized ships in space. Its within reach in the near future!!
The long duration mission actually sounds safer if we can't use a rotating vehicle. On the other hand if we can then the short duration mission would clearly be better. Its possible (really not that difficult) to simulate 1G in space with a teather and counterweight.
It will have to be a big one, cannot rotate a small ship, people would get sick
Keep dreaming ...MORONS!!!
The cosmic radiation may be the most difficult thing to overcome for these missions.
As I understand it, outside of the atmosphere the gravity is zero. Once we propel objects past the atmosphere, who is to say we don't connect the various cargo holds together like cars of a train (fuel and propulsion elements jettisoned). The size of the convoy is irrelevant because weight and volume are not a factor in zero gravity. Once everything is connected, give the thing a push and send it on it's way.
Mass is extremely important. Every gram requires fuel to accelerate and then decelerate.
I can't be bothered to watch this. Could someone please explain to me how NASA proposes to keep the astronauts from dying of cancer in the hard radiation of space? Also, if they did get to Mars alive, what do they propose to do about the incredibly toxic environment there, and continued hard radiation? The seldom-admitted truth about the ISS is that it is actually in the upper fringes of the atmosphere ( that's why it constantly needs to be 'boosted' ) and is well within the protection of the planet. Otherwise it would be a deathtrap. Robots exploring space makes sense. Humans exploring space is idiocy, until the robots find something worthwhile out there. Even then, robots can probably do it better.
Chinese military scientists believe the tardigrade’s cells improve a human's ability to withstand radiation and potentially other diseases, so scientists in China are already looking into it, and most of Chinese science is stolen from the USA so it wouldn't surprise me if NASA is actively working on this
This was one of the most well-presented, informative, cautious and yet inspirational videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you.
Seriously - what!?
Yep, great vid. Brilliant idea of using moon as a base for Mars missions.
I'm going to challenge the first part of this video - establishing a Moonbase as the initial step. According to this idea, we have to lift all the Mars equipment that we will need out of the Earth's gravity well, drop it into the Moon's gravity well, and then later, when all is ready lift it out of the Moon's gravity well again. But surely if the Mars rocket assembly process was all completed in Earth orbit, we would obviate the extra mass required to get on and off the Moon. In other words, unless you manufacture the propellant and necessary hardware actually on the Moon, you don't win anything by going there first.
Good idea.
Artificial gravity would make the journey so much easier for humans!
Magnets?
@@joolanch2848 Some kind of magnetic resistance between the spacesuit and ship that mimics gravity, interesting.
It's just inexcusable how little (as in, pretty much no) research has been done on free-space centrifugal 'gravity' and its effects on mammalian biology. 2 Starships (or whatever) at opposite ends of a long tether (at least a few hundred meters, to minimize Coriolis forces), spun end-over-end during the coast phase, and folks can just get out and walk when they get there (make it .5g, say, and they'll be all John Carter...as opposed to just better than Charles Xavier). And the Artemis plan is an excruciatingly Byzantine hodge-podge of extraneous steps. Some variant of "Mars Direct" (cf. Robert Zubrin's The Case For Mars) is the way to go.
Yes, I experience Artificial Gravity when i have wind.
"The alien agenda, if revealed, would undoubtedly send shockwaves through humanity, forever altering our perception of reality. Mundane interests and burdensome mortgages would become trivial matters in the face of mind-bending physics and extraordinary discoveries. With unequivocal proof of the human Soul and the afterlife, a new era of communication with the deceased would commence, allowing us to explore realms beyond our wildest imagination. As the Soul's ability to traverse the universe at the speed of thought is unveiled, the very fabric of our existence would undergo an unprecedented transformation. No longer plagued by unanswered questions or unsolved crimes, humanity would stand on the precipice of a truly remarkable future."
Stephen Baxter wrote a book called Voyage. Using Apollo technology with a gravity assist using Venus to add extra speed, a manned mission could've been done in the 1980s. It's a well written story worth checking out.
How do we know they aren't already going?
@@brianbartolomeo107 Gee, when was that launch?

@@MrMarco855 Then you sir are a fiction writer.
@@MrMarco855 what??
7:35 - Hold up.... by what logic is longer transit better than longer stay on Mars? Based on below, I would posit that shorter transit would be the way more desirable option. 1) Gravity: At least you have a decent amount on Mars. Supplement with resistance training (think stretching/hydrolic/pneumatic items rather than weight plates) and cardio, you might be minimally OK. In transit, micro-G is a lot worse for you, relatively speaking. 2) Radiation: On Mars, a cave or other subterranian habitat could help mitigate exposure. Plus you could "pre-ship" additional shielding. In space, it's whatever shielding you bring with you, and that means more weight to propel and other considerations come into play. 3) Supplies (food, water, spare parts, etc.): Similar pros/cons as #2 (e.g., "pre-ship" additional versus carry all with you) 4) Mental health: you can more easily vary routine and environment on Mars. Take a walk, ride a rover, etc. In transit, "the same 4 walls" the entire time. I look forward to a possible healthy debate on this.
if they can create a rocket for faster transit time it then adds an extra problem of losing all the extra speed once nearing mars
If humans would put our egos aside we could be making so many strides in exploring and understanding the universe. Humans are the weakest link and most expensive part of these missions. let the robots go explore and we can figure out how to join them in the future!
I agree with you, to a point. But, without those human egos, we wouldn't have the robotic probes in the first place! :) We're all fallible, my brother, or sister.
Humans are top busy sinning to care about this nerdy stuff

The spacecraft, equipped with cutting-edge technology, embarked on a months-long odyssey through the vastness of space. Even the robotic assistants on board joined in the fun, programmed to deliver lighthearted jokes and puns during routine updates..
