I’ve wondered what the big interest to do it is. There are dozens of very high obstacles that must be overcome before we can even consider interplanetary travel.

And on the movie “The Martian”, I wondered how many billions of dollars the government spent on saving one man while millions are homeless and sick and hungry.

The millions of homeless sick and hungry are not in this country, and are unlikely to be helped much by money not spent on the space program.

The most useful benefits of the space program is not the exploration itself, but the innovation and accelerated tech developments it required, and enables more productivity and a higher standard of living, more than gov. foreign aid is likely to effect. . Most of which we are ignorant of and provide .

And with adversaries as Russia and China, if these tech developments are not continued and accelerated then can will cost America greatly.
