Is there such a thing as going to Mars, and if not why not?
“Mars has almost no surface water; a toxic atmosphere that is too thin for humans to survive without pressure suits; deadly solar radiation; temperatures lower than Antarctica; and few to none of the natural resources that have been critical to human success on Earth.”

So, is there talk of going to Mars or are they just talking about going close enough to be safe? If it’s the latter what is the purspose?
