Alright, let's take a look.
How will knowing that "Nasa is effective" benefit me or really anyone for that matter? How will "rock samples" from Mars benefit me or anybody? How will knowing whether Mars does or has ever sustained life benefit me or anybody?
Do you think discovering huge amounts of rare metals and minerals that could be mined in the future would be of benefit? Do you think the discovery of uranium deposits might be rather beneficial? Do you think understanding the geological and potentially biological transformation of an entire planet over millenia might be of benefit in predicting how our own earth might evolve... or devolve?
Or do you simply believe science should be limited to developing vaccines, botox, and improved electronic systems for immediate gratification now?
