Seriously - spending $2.5 Billion today, to poke around at martian dirt when people here on Earth are starving, and dying in the streets due to lack of sufficient health care? I doubt people living below the poverty line will be dancing in the streets over this.

Food for thought. NASA and space exploration is one of the reasons we have the technology we have on earth. We need a maned mission to mars imagine what that would bring to this economy. The tech that would be developed and the industry created.
