Going there, I assume that they have a plan.  Coming back, I doubt it. 
These type of trips tend to be one way.  Just refueling the Starship 
will be incredibly difficult at best.  I would guess some sort of CO2 + 
H2O -> CH4 + O2 reactor.

I have no idea what was on the Mayflower coming back to Europe but it 
was not people other than the remaining crew who survived the winter.
