would you go if you had the expertise and the chance to go? how long will it take and how are they going to do it? how will they avoid getting hit by asteroids and debri
does it make sense to go to Mars? r those robots still on Mars?

the trip will take two to three years. Around trip The 6 Astronauts will have to go threw many test to get on the mission more then any other. Because they will be a lone all that time. in a ship the size of a small apartment. you have to get a long with these people. and there will be woman going. So there could be sexual tenchin. You can't have people snapping and killing one another. So they have to be mentally and physical fit. As for the robots there still there.

I wouldn't go. I have been (by chance) to places where I was physically challenged and it was not a positive experience. I clearly felt that I did not belong there. Other people did, I did not. See, you have to know you strength and weaknesses. This is not one of my strengths.
What NASA does, if they do it right, is to chose people who have the right personality, physical fitness etc. to perform exceedingly well, even in a metal tube on Mars. They will find them. There are people like that. Just not very many. Chances are nobody I know or have ever known in my life qualifies. But then, I don't know very many people. They do.
A mission will take approx. 18-24 months.
Asteroids are not a problem, at all. They are very few of those.
Radiation is a problem and nobody knows how to solve it within the mass budged of imaginable spacecraft.
It does not make sense to go to Mars with people. It all becomes a technological problem to keep the people alive and there is little they can do that a robot can't. One can collect hundreds of times more information with robots for the same budget that it will take to send people.
We will send them, anyway. We are a vane peoples. And vanity is all this is really about.

They will choose people the same way astronauts are chosen today.
But I would not go. That is just too long a trip; 8 months each way and waiting a year on Mars for the planets to line up correctly to make the return trip possible is just too long.

It does make sense by setting foot on Mars. I think someone who is good at this job will be choosen.
