That is true, there are more 'moral' things that governments could be spending their money on. But I suppose you could say that about all sorts of things that aren't necessary for everyday survival - funding the arts, 'pure' scientific research, all sorts.
Maybe the motivation behind it seems more relevant to me. I'm sure some of the NASA scientists love their work and have purish motives about the pursuit of knowledge. I appreciate I have a very one-dimensional view of Mr Bush, but frankly I feel like any support he gives to such projects is entirely down to his skewed ideas about how marvellous american culture is and how smashing he'll look in the future when he's associated with someone landing on mars. What a cynic.
