$475 Million For What?

I must preface this discussion with the fact that, for years, I've thought space program spending is useless. Its a waste of money. Who cares about Mars? Really. In my world the budget cuts would start with NASA.

Did we really need to go to the moon over and over?

Latest case in point: this fiasco. $475 million to send a robot into space that tells us pretty much everything we already know about the red planet? I'm so confused. And it was planned that it would die after 5 months????
