They've only done it six times counting Pheonix, and have been the only space agency in the world to do so successfully. How is that not impressive?

It'll cost too much for a Mars colony or heck even to land a few people on Mars, hell I don't even think we'll get that far. Simply because the American public will get fed up with the moonbase first (Since after all, we are going back in 2020).

Why? Is there any profit in it?
Why would private industry pour money into something that they can't profit from?
