Most space programs are just taking military dick measuring contests to a new level. I find it hard to get invested because of this. We deserve an international space coalition that pursues open scientific and civilian goals, not this.
And it's really hard to justify the expense sometimes when there are so many problems much closer to the ground that could use the funding.

Meanwhile, global internet is an exciting concept, especially if it can fund small backup civilizations (that will eventually be needed due to the heat death of the sun).
