Now the American space program wants to travel to Mars which would cost up to thirty billion dollars for a human mission to Mars.

United States could benefit economically from exploration, putting people to work, spark innovation, there might be benefit. History has shown that exploration has been an economical boom. There were things made that helped the economy. If we don't get involved other countries will and we will loose our status as higher power.
