Do you really see manned missions to Mars becoming a reality in our time Martin?
I believe we are the same age, 64 and have been hearing about the prospects of this for close to our entire lives.
Personally I still think we've got a long way to go beyond a launch. I guess baby steps.
I still see a launch from a base on the moon being more feasible, allowing for a larger payload without requiring escape velocity. There's still the other end of the trip, they have to be able to reduce all of that masses speed too.
