Well I think missions to the "Moon" and "Mars" are invaluable! They are proving grounds at the least, to test our equipment, and work out what we need to ensure a long lasting pressence in space. I don't think it should be about why, but why not, and it should not come down to money.

Money equates with resources. If the Chinese are focused on the moon then why are we running to Mars?

What kind of seed are we planting here? I don't see a potential for a colony on Mars returning resources to earth. It's really a one way trip fueled by the hubris of humanity.
