He's gonna need something on the scale of a Saturn V EB, what with weight, consumables, and crew
And after innumerable unmanned landing missions dating back to 1976 which have exhibited nothing of special interest, Mars is not sustainable or worthy of the cost. I'm afraid (courtesy of speed / time restrictions to other destinations) the moon is as far as we can get. 26,000 mph sounded impressive in 1968, but it's nothing compared to what we need.
