I agree it doesn't hurt to explore, but we have vast technological means to do so now remotely from our lovely planet Earth. We have a rover that climbs over terrain, never has to sleep or eat, and can do mass spectrometry. The need to insert humans on Mars is arrogance.

I don't see us living there for extended missions either. I do see the importance of what we learned and the inventions that came out of the Moon missions that have positively impacted our lives on this rock. The journey thing. What I don't get, at all, to this day, is why...we still don't have a Moon base.
