No. SpaceX might be able to though. They created the first self-landing fully reusable booster when everyone was telling them it wasn't possible. They're an innovative company with a lot of very clever people working for them so, assuming everything goes right, I think it's possible, if not likely.
Assuming Elon the loose cannon doesn't fuck things up by opening his mouth at the wrong time.

Fair enough. The idea excites me but It puts a bad taste in my mouth when Elon starts talking about colonizing Mars and how he is going to save humanity blah blah blah ....I guess that is the loose cannon you are referring to

Honestly, the guy has been instrumental in some ways in making this stuff happen, particularly on the financing front, but in other ways he's just been an utter nob that makes life difficult for Gwynne Shotwell who actually runs SpaceX. I just wish he'd keep his mouth shut until a grown up has vetted what he wants to say.

haha that's funny, he does have Aspergers and seemingly no filter...of all comments I think you have helped my perspective and feelings on Him and his claims.
theres alot of haters and a lot of people who just hang on every word he says..but just take it with a grain of salt

like I said spaceX will just be the ferry service but they won't be at anytime in the future executing a manned mission to another planet. first of all they have no experience and knowledge on what to do, there are better persons around the world who can do that. only way I see SpaceX involved in planning a manned mission to mars is if they are seized and taken over by a government.
