In 'the real world' little is more damaging to manned space flight than an accident. Accidents just about finished the Shuttle. It's noble to talk about the need to take risk, etc. but the folks who create the risk...politicians, agency officials, engineers, etc. live with the consequences. Another Shuttle accident would have been an end to Shuttle funding and even greater emphasis on the safety of any future manned space project......more costs...more delays.
Not Nasa or any other country is going to to send people on 'one way' missions to Mars. It is the minsdset of impatient little boys who haven't yet learned of consequences. it would not be acceptable to world opinion. It also indicates a total lack of understanding on how difficult and costly it would be to builld the infrustructure needed to supply those individuals.
