If you could go to Mars


...how long do you think it would be before it got old and boring?

I think I'd want to go see Olympus Mons but after that I'd be ready to go home.

Poem, I hope you will accept this grammatical suggestion as well-intentioned and gentlemanly :-)

Since you are describing a hypothetical situation ("If the conditions..") the verb should be in the subjunctive mood, as described on many web pages. Thus, it would be better to write "If they were good, [then] I wouldn't see a need to get back to earth, ever." It's fine to omit "then," as you've done, which is why I've written it in brackets.

Sincerely, Simin140
