Exactly. The technology exists today to get us to Mars. But any astronauts either wouldn't survive the journey, or would be ill and die before they could get back.

Also...just a quibble...we (mankind) are not destined to do anything. That would imply a plan; a puppetmaster. There is no evidence of such. We are driven to expand, likely a survival instinct. But we are not destined or preordained to do anything, except maybe die**.

**We all will die. It's just a question of terminology. It's inevitable, unavoidable, but not "destiny".
