If the resources are there, I'd say mid-to-late 30s wouldn't be an unreasonable guess.

I thought the earliest, realistic date that people are shooting for is in the 2030s, but I can't remember.

NASA is looking at landing a short manned mission on Mars in the late 2030s or the 2040s. They have been very successful in missions involving humans and in missions involving landings, so I'd say that is a pretty realistic timeframe.

A lot will depend on whether a suicide mission is sanctioned or not. If that happens, then end of the decade early 30s.

To do it with more safely involved, maybe late 30s or even the 40s. Trial runs need to happen to see if we can land and take off again, even equipment left there for arrival.

You mean, assuming we’ve been to apace previously or have the technology to get into space today?
