How many supply ships would it take to put a colony on Mars?
When you consider that 7000 pounds of food PER person would be required... not including water, fuel and other necessities

Oh man, there are so many factors that would go into this, you should ask this on Quora though, this is practically a question made for Quora.

That's actually not entirely unrealistic, especially if he was treating the soil (or if had brought his own).

@Winterwanderer Radiated soil mixed with poop will only go so far. Lack of nutrients makes this impossible. But say for the fact that soil is now brought with a supply ship... this now adds to more flight missions to land it

Yep, a lot of separate flight missions, maybe eventually they'd bring a small team of researchers, but to bring a whole colony, that's a huge overhaul & would require so many resources, I'm not sure how NASA or SpaceX would ever do this
