this sort of rocket is consists of 40 cabins and they expect to be 3-4 people per cabin and normally there will be about a hundred people on it, it is working with four vacuum engines and the risk would be closer to zero when it will entry Mars. (Musk in Space X, 2017)
This company has intended to create moon base Alpha to refill BFR system with the fuel into the Earth’s orbit to continue to the red planet, as well as they announced a bout the two mission that will going to Mars over the next five years. The first one will land on it in 2022 with two ships to confirm water resources and identify hazard life and support infrastructure for future flight, then the next mission will be in 2024 with four ships (two cargo and two crew) to build propellant plant and self-sustaining civilization on Mars. .(SpaceX, 2017) the Earth and Mars synchronization happens roughly every 26 months so we actually have an opportunity to go there in time when Mars is particularly close to Earth. (NASA gov, 2014) and the length of the trip will be n average: 3,888 hours (162 days) which means 9 months. (Taylor in Space,
