Using the same cost factors and life cycle cost estimating approach, the cost of the life support for the Mars mission could be two billion dollars or more. The cost to go to Mars is expected to be two or three times that of either Apollo, space shuttle, or ISS and could be as much as all three together.

I am looking for a cost estimate for a manned (return) mission to Mars. There is a similar question asking for the cost of the Mars One proposal , but I would be happy with a cost estimate for any type of human mission to mars.
So now we can calculate how much money has to be spent on imports before the Mars colony is self-sufficient. For 100 years, we have an average of 500,000 people costing $76,500 in imports per person per year.
As the nation plans manned missions that go far beyond Earth orbit to Mars, there is an urgent need for a robust, disciplined systems engineering methodology that can identify a cost optimized Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLSS) architecture for long duration deep space missions.
