Sending a human to Mars is a waste of tax payer money. No it isn't. Most of the money stays on the ground in the form of jobs. A tiny percentage is actually launched into space.
I for one would rather spend money on a massive public works project of this kind -- which pays engineers salaries than say paying people not to grow crops.

A pertinent fact lost on the naysayers.They apparently think we just fill rockets with money and launch them into the atmosphere.

Don't sweat it, folks. Just remember that cynics know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
