But, they would have to be space enthusiasts.

You have to understand the idea/s before going forward. If not, plausible explanations should come forth to the general public.

Personably, I don't see why we shouldn't go for human exploration. Mars is the number one reason for obvious reasons... it's so close.

If only that, that would be a good reason.

The rest is in our future. Hopefully.

Maybe there's a tandem here. If, IF, we can't mechanically extract Martian soil via robotic core samples, humans would have to do the job, then so be it. I know we/humans can do that by today's standards.

Lord knows we need someone to wipe the/wind-sand devil to clear the voltaic panels of Spirit and Opportunity, yet, we can't do that from here. If so, we'd be good to go for another year.

Personally speaking, as of today, manned exploration will only take us to Mars and back.
