Given the travel time, any visit to Mars would probably not be short-stay like 1 day. More likely weeks, months or longer.

So you'd have Mars G for time on the surface anyway.

And besides: a few astronauts have already done long duration microgravity, returned to Earth & lived to tell.

Sure, but NASA is concerned about an emergency landing scenario on Mars. Astronauts that crash land while physically incapacitated from long duration microgravity will face near certain death.
