10 months
I remember decades ago when I was in elementary school NASA was estimating it would take about 4 years. Looks like we have improved a bit.

Hell, nine or ten months is doable for a human. What are they waiting for? Oh, I guess it was this soft landing they wanted to test. OK, I see an American on Mars within 5 years. YEEEEHAAAAAAW!
