The how much and how to get it there keeps coming up and that is due to the size of the chunks that our current launch systems are capable of lifting to orbit.

NASA: Manned mission to Mars still 'long way' off
Though still 20-plus years in the offing, NASA officials say their first manned mission to Mars would aim to create a permanent operations base that could be revisited.
The comments, made by Ben Bussey, the chief exploration scientist in NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, indicate the plan would not be to create a permanent human outpost on the Red Planet, but a base of operations that would allow future manned missions a place to start.
"The idea here is that you would have your exploration zone that you set up for the first crew," Bussey added. "And that crew would leave, and then you send another crew at the next good launch opportunity. So it isn't permanently occupied, but it is visited multiple times."
The possibility of a NASA-backed manned mission to Mars is still a "long way down the road," Bussey said. Such an operation might not happen until the late 2030s, at the earliest.
So we are planning for a mission to mars with SLS I presume, a deep space habitat simular to ISS modules with either a lander outfitted with HIAD or Adept to allow for large mass landing...

The spacecraft Orion will sit atop NASA's most powerful rocket ever, the Space Launch System (SLS). If Artemis I does launch on August 29, it is expected to return and make a splashdown over the Pacific Ocean on October 10. Artemis I is one of two launches set to take place.
