And this time, don't forget the can opener.

Also, cigarette lighter.

@edgarblythe,
Top of the line Alienware PC gaming rig (with enough room for expansion) and $250 worth of games from Steam.com (games that don't need an internet connection to verify its DRM to play because the server lag between Earth and Mars will be a killer).

MSL images seem to indicate that the USAF Space Command has been running some sort of a manned program on Mars for some time on a black-op basis.

@glitterbag,
You can only bring Roger if he agrees to learn bagpipes. Going to need music for dancing.

First and foremost they should bring with them the means to get back to earth, and there is still talk about the first "explorers" taking a one way ticket

@edgarblythe,
Maybe the thin atmosphere of Mars will make them sound better. Let's send them.
