Well marry somebody and wait a few years. Read this.
Some rich dudes basically want to send an older married couple on a round trip to mars, no landing, just orbiting.

They're saying the radiation dose you'll receive will probably make you sterile.
But really, this would be kind of cool. Just for the fact of doing it, I feel like exploration and science has lost that just for the hell of it idea. I bet tons of stuff that was deemed impractical at the time is either now very relevant, or lead to something useful. I hope to see a crazy space flight in my lifetime. Like moon landing status.
