I assume you have read, "The Case for Mars", by Robert Zubrin.

It made me wish I would be alive the day the first colony is started on Mars.

Of course all of this is predicated on mankind not destroying himself prior.

Maybe when the aliens return in 2012 (according to the ancient Mayans) it will be to take us to Mars ;p

Without these endless wars we could be on Mars now.

Von Braun was arrested during WW2 for openly discussing possibilities of going to other planets.

Von Braun was dreaming of Mars long ago.

" A frightful event occurred in mid-March 1944 when von Braun was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned in Stettin. The alleged crime was that von Braun had declared his main interest in developing the A-4/V-2 was for space travel—not as a weapon. Also, since von Braun was a pilot, who regularly piloted his government-provided airplane, it was suggested that he was planning to escape with A-4/V-2 secrets to the Allies.

It was the personal intervention of Munitions and Armaments Minister Albert Speer with Hitler that gained von Braun's release from jail. It had only been a few weeks earlier that von Braun refused an offer from Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler.

Himmler had proposed that von Braun should leave the German Army rocket program and come to work for the SS. It is believed that Himmler was directly responsible for von Braun’s arrest". —Michael Neufeld, The Rocket and the Reich, 1995

He probably was.
