Answer by Stephen
How big an engine? With an ion engine you are going to be accelerating very slowly, so you might need anywhere from a few months to a few years to reach Mars.
Also, you did not say if you want to come back again, if you want to descend to the Martian surface, or if you want to explore while there.
