Lots of interesting things out there, many of them are outside our solar system.

NASA has invested so much into finding water on Mars ... just so they can say there is nothing special about the Earth.
While Mars may be eroding, are Muslims feeling the “outreach” of NASA’s core mission?
We all know what is on Mars... It’s the same thing we found on the Moon... It’s called dust, dirt, sand, rock, etc., etc. Going on missions to the Moon and Mars is a waste of resources.
A better idea, design less expensive robotic missions for local exploration... Then take those savings and add more on top of that to develop a propulsion system that will travel fast enough to reach another star within a humans life time. Until we find a way to send a spacecraft faster than the speed of life, we are wasting our precious time.
And who knows? If we put all our resources towards that end we may accomplish the feat of traveling to another star within the next 4 or 5 generations.
As for travelling to Mars... If you want to get a feel for that experience, go to the Mojave Desert and hang out there for a year or two... Same diff.
When the subject is science, most of what we “know” is wrong.
We can always hope.
