Laying the groundwork for the first human mission to Mars
Sending humans to Mars and returning them safely to Earth would be one of the most complex endeavors that humans have ever carried out. The number of issues that must be dealt with simultaneously is inordinately large, and all must be resolved in order to have a successful mission.

A report by a review panel convened by NASA to explore what went wrong contains the explanation.
