        I imagine that medicine or treatments to repair DNA damage from cosmic rays will also help with cancer. Or optimized ways to produce tasty and protein rich food could really help with small scale circular economies on earth. Although the real issue might be toxic perchlorate on mars.

        maybe a reason is using that money to give people Healthcare and free education. You know, like, things that actually matter. Why do we need to go to mars?
