Your not in the minority at least with me. Mars used to be a goal I thought was worthy but it will never be a good place to terraform it is just far to small. Life may exist there as microscopic virus or bacteria but who really cares. We should be looking for life and quit mucking about with places that are no more interesting than the moon.
Hell we should sink our money into a space telescope that can find planets like earth in other solar systems.
If we found a planet with a nitrogen oxygen atmosphere how long so you think people would wait to build something to go there? People would demand to have ships sent.
Europa is wee bit far away. We need to baby step our way to Mars first.
Who would have thought in the 1960s after the moon landing that our space exploration program was basically going to stop there?
