So you want to spend a few hundred billion dollars to send a man to mars, to watch him die....don't bring him back alive of give him supplies to survive - oh, no - because THAT would be a waste of money.
Sorry - I don't get it.

Sending a person to mars costs a lot of money. Bringing them back also costs a lot of money. Sending a person on a one way trip would be much cheaper than sending someone on a return trip.
But maybe you're asking why send someone to mars at all? Well that's a matter for another thread. This one is about technical difficulties of a mars trip and eliminating the return leg eliminates a lot of the technical difficulties.
