Why be concerned about coming back?
I read that the thinking behind colonizing Mars is to go there permanently.
Not like in a suicide mission or anything, but selecting people who would be willing to go there, knowing that it is a one-way ticket.
It makes the whole question of continuous provisions, logistics etc far easier, if we do not have to concern ourselves with any return flight.
Launching supplies to the colony would be rather pedestrian suddenly.
