But that's Space Tourism. Fork or sublease the technology over to the private sector and fly the -paying- tourists, I'd say.
Heck, Russia is proposing Moon tours to anyone who can pay.

I would rather prefer NASA to focus on science advance, fixing the Hubble (tho this could prolly be done by automats), launching satellites, upgrading their hardware, things like that.
I also want an advance warning detection system for incoming stuff (meteorites, solar flares, whatever) up there. Or does that exist already?

As for Mars... Mars seems to be a flat desert, I don't see the use to put a human over there. Except maybe to put up a flag up there "I was here first". Let's terraform it first.
