There is not a really good reason to do a lot of the things we do beyond we enjoy it.
There are reasons to explore mars and the moon but I am tired of arguing about it. Doing it because it's interesting and exciting is good enough if we are being honest.
If you oppose the government spending money on it, great, you can join the masses in not liking what their government spends money on. Not to say your belief are not valid, they are also not original. Lots of people don't like every program the government spends money on. The space program is neither the worse offender or the least popular. So you can have that opinion but in democratic nations you need a majority to push your agenda. And space is popular with the majority.
So tough, space exploration is here to stay, cry about it why humanity expands into the stars.

Remote exploration is great, in fact let's close down Disney world and just sell videos of drone flight through it, it's basically the same thing.
