On his own Twitter page, Elon Musk—SpaceX’s billionaire founder—made the impressive claim that the Dragon 2 is designed “to land anywhere in the solar system” and that its Mars mission will be its first test flight.
While a version capable of carrying crew is in the works, there is no mention on the Dragon’s page of the Red Dragon mission or the Dragon 2.
But wouldn’t recommend transporting astronauts beyond Earth-moon region. Wouldn’t be fun for longer journeys. Internal volume ~size of SUV.

Earlier this month, a rocket booster was successfully landed at sea, making SpaceX the first company to be able to reuse its boosters.
