The USS Enterprise can get past Jupiter in 15 seconds without going to Warp.Nasa already has ships that can get to mars in 3 days.Basically, NASA finally admits it's all been wishful thinking. They're not even close to being able to do it, and they won't be close in the foreseeable future. While they say it's all about money, it's far more than money. They just don't have the tech.
NASA finally admits it doesn’t have the funding to land humans on Mars
It doesn't help that they'll miss the best launch window. There a two 'launch window cycles' at play. There's the more important window, which comes every 2.2 years, when Earth is close to "catching up" with Mars. Every Mars launch happens in that window. And there's a less strong 16-year cycle, based on the eccentricity of each planet's orbit. That reaches a minimum in 2018. We'll miss that window, then it won't get that good again until the 2030's. It's maybe a 20% difference in flight time, but if you're trying to have your people not die from radiation, minimizing trip time is vital.
So, realistically, nothing until the 2030s, at the earliest. Maybe Chang-Díaz will have his VASIMR plasma drive working by then, which would help considerably. If it works, it would have much more power than the present Hall thruster plasma drives, and get twice the "gas mileage".
NASA’s longshot bet on a revolutionary rocket may be about to pay off
And another thing, it's been found the Martian soil is so toxic, it will kill all bacteria. Any bacterial life on Mars will have to be buried deep. The new European robot probe will bring a 2-meter drill.

Lies! It took almost 2 hours to get from Earth to Jupiter under impulse power in The Motion Picture.
Besides, it takes light 30+ minutes to travel the distance from Jupiter to Earth. 15 seconds would definitely require warp speed.
Interesting question. Given propellant isn't a problem, a constant 1G acceleration would go the distances over time in the charts below. It would take 3 days to get halfway to Jupiter and a little longer than another 3 days to slow down at 1G.The USS Enterprise can get past Jupiter in 15 seconds without going to Warp.Nasa already has ships that can get to mars in 3 days.Basically, NASA finally admits it's all been wishful thinking.

Just think where we would be had we not quit the space program, and instead of squandering all of that money and time on wars and global warming bullshit, invested it into the space program.

Not really. The tax system was riddled with loop holes so the real tax rate was lower. Much lower. Typical progressive thinking there. High taxes don't get the government more money. It gets the government less money. That's why Kennedy LOWERED the tax rate and would you look at that the government revenues skyrocketed. But that's a fact and progressives don't do facts.
As trump has proven, those loops holes still exist and have gotten even larger.The top tax rate when we went to the moon was 92%48 YEARS AGO TODAY: Apollo 11 Crew of Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins Launched Toward the Moon

It was a joke of course.
However the movie never seemed to show the actual time period it took in real time. I guess that would be too boring.
