Mars should be right there on the list of things to do...

I ended up on the wrong end of an argument where I was forced to defend myself against the accusation that I am "opposed to the principle of expanding human knowledge" or something like that.

I totally think that sending a Person to Mars would be a good thing, also it would be very cool to put on your CV. So it should be right there on the list of things Humans should be doing.

artists impression of "manned" mars mission.

Right there next after "Cure cancer".

That's actually pretty high on the list.

"Cure cancer" is already at number 2.

Behind number 1) "Save all those people who are dying from things - that WE ALREADY KNOW HOW TO CURE or prevent" like malaria, TB, etc etc
