Well, there
is
that group looking to do a one-way trip in the near future. As far as "Why Mars?" goes, I think it's the belief that there's more discovery potential there than any other place we could reasonably get humans to in the near future. The moon is old-hat, and I'm sure some billionaire will start a mining colony there soon enough. If you want to work on problems that stretch our abilities, you focus on Mars.
