We can land corpses or soon-corpses on Mars sure. Getting people there and back reliably and in good shape is going to be extremely difficult if not completely impossible. And the benefit is near zero.
difficult yes, of course. impossible, not even close. NASA's goal is by the 2030s - even if you don't believe that timeline which would be fair, the technology is well within our reach.
Every time we do it we learn from it. That’s nowhere near zero.
