Why spend billions to go into space when there are thousands of homeless people on the streets and millions without healthcare?

I asked the same question when Bush sent troops to Iraq to fight a war over nothing. At least with exploring Mars we would be accomplishing something.

Your logic is faulty. Yes, Bush made a mistake, but why follow up with another costly one?

It's a matter of priorities. Even if there was no WMD/Al Qaeda in Iraq I consider deposing a murderous dictator and putting a democracy which, though while it took a lot of work, now seems to be working in it's place something much more worth doing than flying to Mars just for the hell of it.

A mission to Mars wouldn't just be done just be for the hell of it. Plus, since Saddam has been gone, it's actually gotten worse over there, I mean at least with the terrorist it has.
