There’s poll with the article. Apparently I’m one of the 2% of respondents who think it will never be possible.

Just my opinion, but I think anyone willing to go to Mars, must be willing to sacrifice their lives, because it would be a suicide mission.

Definitely. The best the initial travellers could hope to do is set up infrastructure for the survival of future travellers.

We have the technology to terra-form Mars, but it will take at least 200-300 years to make any real progress.

It wouldn’t be if we’d spent the last 40 or so years occasionally dropping comets and/or asteroids on the polar regions...

There are some very predictable outcomes for certain cancers: finding a cancer victim for a Mars mission should be easy.
