What an incredibly risky proposition. Imagine getting to Mars and finding out they can't produce enough methane for the return trip? That's assuming they could even survive the 6 month trip in the first place.

Before we talk about putting people on Mars we have a lot of preliminary exploration and fact finding to do.

I think most people (if not 100%) who go ultimately know its a one way trip
