There are currently no manned missions planned to Mars.
No, no human being has ever stepped foot on mars.
We have sent rovers to Mars but there have been no manned missions.
To date (and probably until the 2030's), there has been no manned mission sent to Mars by NASA or any other astronomical organization. No human being has gone to Mars, and the furthest man has ever gone from the Earth is to the Moon. Thus, we don't understand what you're talking about
Apollo 17 was the sixth and final lunar landing mission of the Apollo program. Launched on the 7th December 1972, and returned to Earth on the 19th December. It remains the most recent manned moon landing and the most recent manned flight beyond low Earth orbit.
no astronaut was ever sent to mars
No fixed year has been given for when the first manned space mission to Mars might take place- NASA has speculated in abstract terms that the first mission might be sent there some time in the 2030's, although this depends entirely upon how research and development progresses upon the vehicles needed to get to Mars, funding budgets, and what is or is not physically possible. Also, manned space travel is being increasingly sidelined nowadays as robotic probes become more advanced and sophisticated- it's felt in many scientific circles that we just don't NEED to go places ourselves when probes and satellites can do it for us. People probably will land on Mars one day, but it may not be until long after NASA has suggested it might.
The mission of the Enterprise was to retrieve information and pictures of Mars by landing on the planet and collecting results it then sent back to Earth.
It was sent to go and explore Mars in the hope of finding extra Terrestrial Life Also see the Related Link 'NASA - Phoenix Mission Overview.'
A rescue mission sure can be sent, but such a rescue mission can be horribly expensive. However, it depends where the stranded spacecraft is; if it is a mission on its way to Mars, for example, any such rescue mission is likely to arrive too late.
Apollo 1 was the first manned mission in the Apollo program, launched in February 21, 1967. It never reached space.The first Apollo mission to actually reach space was the Apollo 7 mission.

The Phoenix Mars lander is on the ground now! Use the link to the JPL/NASA posting on this mission. It is updated frequently.
