Like football. It is used for state propaganda, to make populations dream and look forward to the same direction. Sports are a branch of the entertainment industry. You don’t get paid to run fast, you get paid to gather crowds. Same for Mars, and it only impacts ideas and hope, not actual well-being. But it’s still required, otherwise people err in Brownian directions. I hope very much that the new Mars funding will be taken off the football spendings.
