Can you expand please?
Why are we going to mars then?
Watch this in context (he's dumb

As a reminder, Grinus has nothing to do with this, I just took his statement to superimpose 'my opinion' (more like what logic tells me, because I've done no research about this).
If landing on the moon is safe / secure, why don't we do nothing else on there ? (I'm assuming there is no plan to this day to do something, having heard nothing of the sort).
Why do we go to Mars ? Isn't be because it's farther and farther and it will takes us YEARS to do that (hence continuing to take in money) ?
Side note : Why does it matter that there WAS life some millions years ago ? Why does it matter even if there is life NOW there ?
To me is sounds just like saying 'we went to the moon, now mars, then ..., then ...' and at the same time taking millions/billions in ... and SHOWING no real PROOF, or even a LOGICAL REASON to do that, except GREEN PAPER ($.$)
quick research : NASA budget (
wiki) :
Seen in the year-by-year breakdown listed below, the total amounts (in nominal dollars) that NASA has been budgeted from 1958 to 2011 amounts to $526.18 billion dollars—an average of $9.928 billion per year. By way of comparison, total spending over this period by the National Science Foundation was roughly one-fourth of NASA's expenditures: $101.5 billion, or $2 billion a year.[2] NASA's FY 2011 budget of $18.4 billion represents about 0.5% of the $3.4 trillion United States federal budget during the year, or about 35% of total spending on academic scientific research in the United States.[3]
According to the Office of Management and Budget and the Air Force Almanac, when measured in real terms (adjusted for inflation), the figure is $790.0 billion, or an average of $15.818 billion dollars per year over its fifty year history.
What did they do with all that money ? REALLY ?
Wouldn't it be more useful (not in research terms) if they use it on this planet ?
Feeding and clothing the poor ?
Helping not to devastate / polluate the oceans / forests ?
I'll finish by quoting Mr Manson :
All interview :
http://www.mansondirect.com/spain%20interview.html
The air that we breathe is order. We need to save our air. The trees that give us the air and all the green things from the bottom of the ocean to the tops of the mountains - that give us air - we must protect. That’s PHU* (* PHU= Protective Housing Unit.). You can do more in prison to change the world than you can in the bureaucrat, and the lying-ass media and what they call the United States of Wall Street; it’s just about money, and they feed on other countries with their war games to take the money. That’s all they want, is the money. They live and die by their God money.
You have got to turn your God inside yourself, and find out that God lives inside of you; that you are God. Until you find that out, then... you think I’m smart? You’re as smart as anybody else. There’s nobody else but you, to you. Prison is not a bad place, it’s just another place. People that work in prison are just other people, like people that work in factories or sweep the streets. People are just people. My friend used to give guided tours over there in one of your prisons.
Do you feel Mr. Manson that you are a kind of a martyr of our society?
Say that again.
Do you feel that you are a kind of martyr of the society?
Well, we all are. Everybody in prison is. There’s no crime. Crime is a big game that these people are playing with their children. The people they lock up are for movies. They make movies and television shows. Crime is a business, crime is a big business called Government, and Government is a big business called war, and wars feed on their young children, ‘feeds on their young men. Their bodies come back. They are not allowed to kill people, they only get killed. They’re bought and sold by the slaves of Wall Street, who study how to control humanity with their psychology and their philosophy games, and it all points out to how much profit you can make, how much money have you got. That’s killing the atmosphere. That’s killing the trees and the animals. Look in the zoo if you wanna see Charlie, look in the zoo, is that the prison? Is there prison in zoos? Or are your zoos in prison? Why do you have your children locked up in cages, calling it prison and crime? It’s suffering and misery created by Wall Street, created by greedy people who want to be somebody and put on faces, and play-act life as a movie; it’s not. Life is all the graveyards that’s been piled up for the last 2000 years in the name of God, Jesus Christ. Sad painted flower.

, maybe I misunderstood your reply. I've heard conspiracy theory that the whole thing about going to the moon was staged. Is that what you are saying?
