A step to the moon and Mars.

I think the objectives of humans going to the moon and Mars are relatively vague and vibe-based. At this point. there's not really much advantage of sending humans over robots, and humans will always cost far more because we don't really care if robots return or get blown up.

But we should be exploring with people, too! I can't really say why, but just because? Nobody has landed on the moon in my lifetime. That's crazy. I hope I get to see someone on Mars (and I'm optimistic that either US or China, or both, will get there in the mid-2030s).
