flower12 I asked AI, and got a cautious but hopeful answer. In my lifetime hopefully which would be astonishing!
Humans will likely reach Mars, with growing momentum from both government space agencies and private companies like SpaceX. Technological progress, such as reusable rockets and advanced life support systems, makes a crewed mission increasingly feasible. However, major challenges remain, including radiation exposure, psychological and physical health during long missions, and the need for sustainable life support. While an optimistic timeline points to the late 2030s, a more realistic estimate places the first human landing on Mars in the 2040s or 2050s
