>A 30 day Mars stay is retarded because not only is Mars 7 months away by Hohmann transfer, to even do a 30 day surface stay you need to do an opposition class transfer which takes like 650 days round-trip. Imagine going to Mars and you spend less than 5% of your time away from Earth actually standing on Mars.
Think of the jobs it would create.
