One guy... who doesn't have to come back. Remember that Japan pioneered the No Return Airplane Trip, circa 1944-45.

Fuel generation speculation is fun. Actually generating fuel on a small scale on Mars would be even more fun. Build a small prototype fuel plant, send it to the Red Planet, fill up from the local resources and fire off a rocket engine on live + delay television. C'mon, ESA, get it accomplished!
