Curiosity cost $2.5 billion, and features lots of gizmos to look for the chemicals that support life as we know it. The lander set down where there are signs of water. So much good work done in anonymous silence is a puzzle. OK, so it took 253 days to reach Mars. NASA needs to do a better job of building a constituency for its work, and launching the imaginations of the next generation of rocket scientists.
It is possible to get to Mars in less time, but this would require you to burn your rocket engines longer, using more fuel. With current rocket technology, this isn't really feasible. In the nine months it takes to get to Mars, Mars moves a considerable distance around in its orbit, about 3/8 of the way around the Sun. You have to plan ahead to make sure that by the time you reach the distance of Mar's orbit, that Mars is where you need it to be! Practically, this means that you can only begin your trip when Earth and Mars are properly lined up.
