I personally am very very pleased to see that NASA is getting some funding. This money will go directly into research, construction, and hiring additional scientists. Many of the technologies we take for granted today are the result of our space program, and I can only imagine the advances necessary for getting to Mars. Improved radiation shielding, probably ergonomics and power supplies... Plus, it can help to eventually solve overpopulation and supply the Earth with more raw materials.
Now if only we'd build a space elevator, we'd be set.
