No, not baseless, but based on factual calculations, and research.! Do some research on each point that I make in my post, about a Mars mission. The gravity to launch from Mars once you land on Mars will be to great to leave Mars, combined with the weight of landing craft combined with the fuel you will need to leave Mars.!? the distance from Earth to Mars!? , you have only a three year launch window to make a trip to Mars from Earth feaseable.!?, the navigation issues. Check each and every point I make about this being a suicide mission before you say its "baseless and idiotic". I suggest others readers do the same also.
