@NLonDS You forgot to factor in the orbital speeds and planetary positions. If the trip were to take 18 months, then they would take 12 months to Mars via flying by Venus on the way out, staying for about a month or two, then take 6 months back to Earth. That's opposition-class. To maximize surface time, the mission would last for 30 months - 6 out, 18 there, and 6 in. That's conjunction-class, & it gets the most bang 4 the buck. Why spend only 1/18th of a 550-day mission on the surface?

The only New objective that would get the public to support of HSF would be a trip to Mars. Constellation was Apollo v2. So in 2025 or 2030 we get back to the moon. Yipie! exaclty where we were in 1969. But we're still no closer to Mars.
Mars is a 18 month trip. It isn't a 3 day trip. The hardware required is completely different then a moon trip. Constellation would of been the same mistake we made with the shuttle.

Lol, no american spacescraft ever went to mars and back either, idiot. Mars doesn't belong to no-one, it is not our planet.
