they'd be fine; they're billionaires. they'll bootstrap themselves back to earth just like matt damon
In the book/movie it required a lot of help from China so if it happened irl it would be super funny if China was like "lol no"
you see, billionaires are perfectly reasonable and completely tolerant of the idea of eating a potato they grew with their own shit, if said shit potato was the only food source available for hundreds of millions of miles, they're just normal people, like you or me, you see?
desperation doesn't necessarily breed sufficient ingenuity to overcome the fact that mars is completely inhospitable to human existence?
stop using up our precious few minutes of oxygen remaining and start ingenuiting
It would be funnier if they had a full-on Total Recall decompression problem

The RGB lighting shorts out the life support
I would happily make them a little richer by buying a pay per view of them fighting over the last scraps of food and suffocate on Mars.

It's the Fyre Festival but worse. They're on a rock hostile to life that's 140 miles away from everything.
