The Moon seems more strategic than Mars on the short term, and it's easier to get there, so it make perfect sense to get to the moon.
Exploring Mars sounds exciting, but having a permanent Mars colony or city is a waste of resources. Mars is a cold, toxic desert with an extremely thin unbreathable atmosphere. So let's visit and study Mars, but let's not bother trying to live there.
Mars is so underrated, it really needs a hype man. The beaches there are amazing, the climate is great, what else do you need? I think Elmo should lead the expedition there and scope out the best places to live. In fact, let’s call it Project Watney.
Okay let's send him, but with fuel for a one way trip only.
