Building a base. Mining valuable resources. Setting up a launch site for solar system exploration/exploitation. Learning how to live and work on planets hostile to life. Mining for structural metals so habitats and vehicles can be assembled and launched from there using native materials. The list is endless. People want to bask in the glory of what people who are dead and buried did decades ago. The reality is America now is nothing compared to what it once was technologically.
