Yeah, the feeling is that unmanned programs give a lot more value for the amount of money spent, in terms of hard science. Manned programs are very expensive and would come at the expense of a lot of other things. I think a manned Mars program could be valuable if it were a big national project like the original moon landings, but that we've got too many other better candidates for a big national science/tech rallying cry right now.
