Especially when we can reverse engineer crashed UFOs at Area 51 for a lot less.

According to some, that's already been done.

how much did the orion show cost? I am for space travel, privately. Where it is done cheaper. This was money down the toilet

What the hell are we expecting to discover on Mars anyway?

Oh Boy!!! It's a dead planet........

wouldn't it be the berries to find out the red planet is a dome and there is a civilization that doesn't want any part of us?

Have you ever noticed that those who do not have a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of always seem to know how to handle the money of those who do.

If there really is life on other planets, I have to assume they would shoot us out the cosmos if approached them. They must know what we are.

Yes, they know what we are. Proof -- you are a disease!

Scientist will argue that space exploration is needed to find cures for diseases. My argument is that these compounds and elements may exist, but their discovery is like finding a needle in a haystack. Colonization would be my only reason to continue space exploration. Since nothing within our solar system beyond Earth is suitable for sustaining life, the only logical option would be to explore another planetary system. Since we don't have the capability to travel light years in distance, and most likely never will, the expense far outweighs any benefits imo.
