Return to the Moon and colonize it, go to Mars, colonize it, go
to the other planets in the Solar System, and go to the stars?

It's just too expensive, and too long term to justify
an effort with only scientific returns. With few
timely and tangible benefits for greater society.

But look at it this way, rovers like this put each and
every one of us right there on the surface
