I think they said on the news that it took 7 months for the satellite to reach mars.

That is probably the biggest drawback in terms of sending a human crew to Mars, who is going to take a 7 month one way trip to another location? 14 months away in space, that prolly takes alot of food, fuel, and physical toll on NASA and its crew. I cant wait to hear more about what the probe found.
