In retrospect I would not call this an ad, since NASA is public.
In reality we could get to Mars in 39 days on a plasma rocket, except it would take international cooperation to do it.
The USA might be able to go it alone but in light of extreme corruption... I doubt it.
I think I read somewhere that it could be done for a trillion dollars. Considering how much is squandered in wars and bailouts, I'd call it a good investment.
