President Donald Trump has reiterated his goal of sending humans to Mars .

It will take a herculean effort from NASA to make a mission to Mars a reality, experts say.

A round-trip to the Red Planet would take at least three years to complete.

The ISS crew is researching some of the logistical challenges that the long journey to Mars would present.

The trip would expose astronauts to conditions that could lead to multiple health problems.

Former NASA Mars lead: We have not yet built a place for astronauts to live for the 6 or 7 months it would take to get there.

"Not all opportunities are equal," Hubbard says.

"You can get the most mass to Mars of any of these other 20-day windows," he says.
