There's no way even one person would fit alongside with all the required supplies inside Dragon. It might be possible to get away with a rocket somewhat smaller than Starship if the crew was cut down to 4 or so (not smaller by a half though - air scrubbing, water purification system, moisture reclamation, spare parts etc for 4 people won't be much smaller than for 10.) And the workload to establish a sustainable base on Mars would be way too much for 4. | |
