Why should we care about exploring space?
Don't quote Tyson at me. He's an idiot.

So, we've explored Mars. It's not a planet we can live on, what is the point?This doesn't help accomplish anything.

It was theoretical. Why bother poking around on Mars?So, we've explored Mars. It's not a planet we can live on, what is the point?This doesn't help accomplish anything.

We havn't even fully explored our own planet. What makes you think we have "explored" Mars?

The idea is about as good as making a car that can't drive.
They are still looking for life and data. Data that can help us terraform or at least colonizeSo, we've explored Mars. It's not a planet we can live on, what is the point?

Well, if you don't understand at this point, it's likely you never will.
You haven't made the slightest attempt to explain.
Exactly. It's almost like dragging a friend to a movie they hate.You haven't made the slightest attempt to explain.
Why would I make the effort to explain it to you, if you don't make the effort to care about it?
Maybe I would, if you mentioned a point, like KingVamp did.You haven't made the slightest attempt to explain.
Why would I make the effort to explain it to you, if you don't make the effort to care about it?
That you didn't respond to KingVamp suggests otherwise.Maybe I would, if you mentioned a point, like KingVamp did.You haven't made the slightest attempt to explain.

And now I can't unsee Curiosity as the Curiosity Core.
Thank you for explaining, it doesn't seem like such a waste of money now.This doesn't help accomplish anything.

Sweet, one of you.
What's in it for us?:

Okay, but why is it so important today?:

These are just a few of the very important explorers in human history, no? Well, to put it bluntly: exploration and discovery are absolutely integral to the growth and advancement of the human species. Space travel is parallel to this. We would have sent unmanned robots to the Americas first if the technology existed.
Earth ain't forever. You and I will probably be here our entire lives, but Earth won't always be the ideal place for life. Eventually, we must travel outward. Without first sending manned missions and unmanned missions, venturing into the unknown is suicide.
Okay, okay, but what about Curiosity?:
Curiosity is arguably the most important unmanned vehicle currently existing. It's uses are vast, and can only help serve mankind here on Earth. Everything it does there is information to help us survive.
And correction: We can live on Mars, eventually (2100's if we actually start funding R&D). Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, the sun, most moons (if not all), all dwarf-planets, asteroids, comets, and objects past the Kuiper Belt are all completely uninhabitable for the far, far foreseeable future. So where does that leave us?
Space exploration is far more important than you could ever imagine. Read into it.
