You talk about a Mars exploration mission, hence a relatively short time duration, not about settling and living one's whole life on Mars.

How about one problem at the time. If we can actually go there with lots of stuff, stay for a long period and come back we will already have made more progress then most people thought possible.

We know most of the physics needed to deal with the situation, if we can get equipment to mars. Radiation is a problem, but its not Problem Nr. 1.
