Keeping the US taxpayers happy - particularly the ones who are as complacently pig-ignorant as Gnatguy and John Larkin - does waste quite a bit if astronaut time.

It isn\'t a race. Outer space is an environment to be explored, and there are resources out there that are likely to be worth exploiting. John Larkin\'s ancestors didn\'t crawl out of the ocean to decide that dry land wasn\'t worth exploiting, but those particular genes had gotten corrupted before they got to John.

Long ago NASA\'s real engineers even had a tested design for a nuclear rocket to go to the other planets, Von Braun had a Mars plan.
Was scrapped and the real engineers left or retired.
Endlessly driving around the block (doing acrobatics in a ISS) is a good way to suck taxpayers...

Its likely up to China, as they are not limited by religious ideas. They have nice lander on the back of the moon now, I am sure Mars is within their grasp.
Let them win The Space Race.
