At least the whole endeavor has fueled public discussion about Mars exploration, which is valuable in and of itself. There is also some value in exploring Mars-to-stay kinds of missions.
To people interested in this, you can also contact the Mars Society for their Mars analogue studies (Mars Desert Research Station). They take crews every 3 months.
