How long do you think it will be before we land the first manned spacecraft on mars?
How close are we to being able to do this at present?

Also with the production of the first space
elevator (scheduled within 10-30 years) these
things will be a bit easier should become a
lot easier.

Actually, suppose the spaceship veered off course
and landed on some surpringly hospitable planet.
Who else is going to populate the planet?
The current goal for a human mission to Mars is in the 2030s, with NASA's Artemis program aiming for a landing in 2033 and SpaceX planning for a landing as early as 2024.
The travel time to Mars can vary depending on the launch window and the type of spacecraft used. On average, it takes about 7 months to reach Mars with current technology.
Yes, current plans for a human mission to Mars include a return trip. However, the feasibility and logistics of a return trip are still being studied and developed.
Some of the major challenges of a Mars landing include the distance and travel time, the harsh environment of Mars, and the need for advanced technologies and resources to sustain human life on the planet.
Landing on Mars will provide valuable scientific data and insights into the history and potential habitability of the planet. It will also open up opportunities for further exploration and potential colonization in the future.
