Now, all we need to do in-order to get to Mars quickly, so we can colonize or occupy it, would be to dramatically increase our consumption of coal, oil, diesel, gas, right here on Earth,,, thus turning human-compatable atmosphere into that of Mars,,, thus saving the cost and rather lengthy process of trying to convert Mars atmosphere into a more Human suitable one, like Earths... Brilliant I tell you,,, absolutely brilliant!
