Actually he's planning on going PAST Mars. Most futurists believe that an industrial colony in the asteroids is 'easier' (from an energy perspective), and more likely. Getting in and out of a gravity well like a planet.. well, that takes a lot of Joules.

Can he legally send someone to Mars if they won't come back and die there?

They'd be volunteers. He wouldn't be "sending" them.
