Of course we have to have manned spaceflight too. What's the point in building a moon base if only the robots get to live there?

There's no air on the moon. Robots don't need air.

What's the point in building a moon base if only the government-selected elite "get to" live there at the expense of the multitudes who remain on earth?

Are we really spending all this money for some people to have an alternate place to live? I don't care where people want to live but I think all government spending should be to advance science. If we're looking for other "homes", then we can rule out the moon and Mars already with what we know, we can send robots out for now to other galaxies to find something humans could inhabit.
