So, according to this website, the first man to walk on Mars could have done so as early as 1968. Given that in OTL, man hadn't even walked on the Moon by then, this seems unlikely to me.
But it got me thinking: How early could we see a manned Mars mission? Just for kicks, we'll say a POD after October 3, 1942 (the day the V-2 reached space for the first time).

Go crazy.
