The first mission will be disastrous.. No survivors..I do think they will eventually get it right though.

You've just given the best reason why it must be done, asap.

The difference between a first mission and an advance party is the level of logistical support coming directly after. I'll go on the advance party.

Yup, the eternal reason to explore; resources.

it's roughly between 10 and 20 months, but those are averaged with unmanned spacecraft.
It's impossible anyways, the solar radiation is too severe, no gravity on your cardiovascular system, blood clots, etc.
the human body has evolved specifically for a gravity environment.
It's impossible as we know it.
The straightest line/shortest distance to mars involve getting umm close to the ole ball of nuclear fire that we have in the center of our planetary system.
The gravity/solar radiation is a problem for organic lifeforms..
If it did happen, it's be a one way trip, and the inevitability of it would be a fatal trip...
"take one for the team" kinda
But a "successful" trip for humans?
Well I guess it depends on your definition of successful...
If by that you mean a human got there just in time to die a really horrible and painful death..
I'm a science nerd, and a scifi writer, I can give you a BUNCH of reasons why humans cant live there
As we know it.

You're using resources right now. Don't imply you're above this fray. Civilisation needs them, there's no doubting or stopping that. We can get them responsibly or not, but we need to get them from off planet sources sooner rather than later. Why? So we can stop destroying our birthplace.

That's my point.
Coupled with the sheer vacuum that is mars, solar radiation, months if not weeks of darkness from storms (no solar power)
the gravity, the hazmat disposal of human wastes, etc, etc.
As we know it, it's a fatal mission.
Not to mention an extreeeeeeeemely expen$ive endeavor...
In the billions...
hell i remember reading where a fuckin space suit costs 2 million dollars and takes like 2 yrs to make.
ONE fuckin spacesuit...

oh they are. but honestly it's probably the money that's keeping it from happening..
humans don't care about humans... just $$$

Hundreds signed up for this one way trip, its a suicide mission but they will be famous...for about a week.

They'll last long enough to set down roots. Hell, living here on Earth will eventual kill every last one of us, so a change of scenery appeals. Freedom to do what you want and live or die by the consequences. Literally.

I'm still wondering about the point of return bus service.

Maybe the plans for Mars colonization are not as incredible as people say and there are other reasons why Mars One was closed. SpaceX, for example, is going to the implementation small steps but they already are making the spacecraft and has the test version already. Furthermore, their prototype of the colonies seems much reliable and trustworthy. When the main stages will be implemented, it will be time to make a suitable condition in order to simplify life e.g. Skylark Nano which can be used to collect data on ambient conditions. I have also heard that Japan is going to build an enterprise for hydrogen production.
