NASA plans a manned trip to Mars in the 2030's. A private businessman wants to pull together a trip in 2018. Neither one involves landing, just orbiting.

I provide the article from three sources. Compare the comments.
It is also possible that they will be visiting a much-changed Mars. An extinction-sized comet will make a close approach to Mars in October 2014. It probably won't hit.
