Um, I wish these stupid “ Colonize Mars” fantasies would end. You have to have a human survive the Van Allen radiation belt.... Good luck with that.

Every lunar mission passed through the Van Allen belts.

Gemini and Apollo missions already solved that problem. The real problem is years in zero and low gravity environments. Most of the day you’d have to exercising just to fight off atrophy.
