The lowest energy transfer to Mars is a Hohmann transfer orbit, a conjunction class mission which would involve a roughly 9-month travel time from Earth to Mars, about 500 days (16 mo) [citation needed] at Mars to wait for the transfer window to Earth, and a travel time of about 9 months to return to Earth. [9] [10] This would be a 34-month trip.
Currently, a return journey to Mars can take up to two years, with crew members having to wait a full year for the planets to realign, but with ion propulsion -- which uses electricity to ...
In order to conduct an imagined crewed trip to Mars in 39 days, [34] the VASIMR would require a very high electrical power level. On top of that, any power generation technology will produce waste heat.

[1] He envisioned an "enormous scientific expedition" involving a fleet of ten spacecraft with 70 crew members that would spend 443 days on the surface of Mars before returning to Earth. [1]
A City on Mars is a counterbalance to the growing optimism over space exploration.
In the distant future, humans have developed a form of instantaneous teleportation called "the Jaunt", enabling colonization of the Solar System.
