As to cost,
I asked Gemini AI and it says,
"Estimates for the cost of a first human mission to Mars range from hundreds of billions to half a trillion dollars, with the actual costs likely to be even higher, potentially exceeding the combined costs of the Apollo, Space Shuttle, and International Space Station programs"
We could build housing for all the homeless in the U.S. for the cost of sending a human to Mars.
