Well, you don't know what the benefits might be before you go. You can be sure you will learn things, but you can't know in advance how useful that knowledge will be in future.I'd like to know what real benefits to mankind have come from it?
Personally, all I can see is the freeze dried space food and the space dust I used to love as a kid in the 80s and then as an adult, the Race for Space album by Public Service Broadcasting. And don't give me that Tempur shite, tried one of their pillows - fecking awful.
What a waste of money.
If we can't get millions of people off Earth and living in space then this world is doomed. It's our only hope.
There are clear benefits from space programs overall, but attempting manned missions to the moon maybe not so clear or direct benefits.
A bit like F1, the spin off technological developments are useful for everyone.
