If there is no signs of life on Mars, why NASA is spending too much on Mars ? Why not a mission to other bodies or even out of Solar system,
-
I think partly because Mars is seen as a place from where to gather raw materials & also as a staging post further deeper space exploration. Plus - soooo much to be learned from any other celestial body. But nothing compares to Earth-at least not in our solar system.

Time to set up Terraforming Mars on the game table! 6 months’ll get you real good at that, I’d wager!
