Would you like to settle on Mars?

If youve got the proper scientific education you can get a job and get paid to be there. If not you can just pony up the $$$ and take a cruise. Personally Im not going any further south than Cartagena Columbia where its warm and sunny all the time,

Yes.

Settling gently onto Mars is vastly preferable to impacting the surface at high velocity. Hence the heat shields, parachutes, bouncy bags and/or landing rockets that are integral components of every Mars lander.

Going to Mars is going to pretty much always be a one way trip as far as any colony level stuff goes (other than just like a small ship with a few folks like we did for the moon), due to how much resources it would take to bring folks back from Mars. Travel from Mars back to Earth probably won't really be done much until Mars is setup to produce some sort of rocket fuel, or we get nuclear powered rockets built.

That's actually a big part of the plan for Starship, and why the engines used are fueled with liquid methane and liquid oxygen - both can be produced on Mars.
