> Not everything has to have a 'real world value' to it.

I agree with you but this is definitely one of the things that should have a real world value.

Many of the brightest minds in the world when it comes to space would be working on a project like sending humans to mars for decades. Not to mention the hundreds of billions of dollars it will cost.

Plus it's not like the alternative of sending robots to every planet and large moon in the solar system is not cool.



I think you're right except that in this case it would not only be cool, there would definitely be some real world value too, overall I feel it is worth it.

And sending robots is definitely super cool :)
