A 2023 assessment found that NASA’s original plan for bringing Martian samples to Earth would be costlier and take longer than expected. What is the future of the mission?

I am science minded. I recognize that many if not most of our technology came from the moon missions. I just don’t see Mars happening. If we are unable to support a moon colony, we are nowhere close to Mars. We are wasting time and resources while people are dying. Invest in climate and healthcare.
Build more rovers and don't worry about return samples or land enough equipment on Mars to do sample analysis on-site. Mars is just too far away to be going there and bringing samples back and rocket technology isn't improving fast to think that will change.
A pod of small rockets rather like the M270 that have enough thrust to leave the gravity of Mars and then a collection satellite in orbit here or around the moon.
This is why we have an International Space Station. Cooperation is mandatory for exploration. But I do wish we’d spend as much initiative on exploring & protecting this planet’s oceans
No one wants to be spending money to go to f’in Mars. We want free health care, good public education, free college tuition, roads, bridges, & TRAINS, 5 week vacations, $ for seniors & disabled people to live decent lives, daycare for kids, 1 year maternity leave. NO F’in BILLIONS 4 SPACEX crap!!!!
We can't feed humans, safe, affordable food on Earth. People making over $150K a year are struggling to buy their first home. Inflation is still high. Homelessness is rapidly increasing. Private equity has us all in a vice grip. Yeah, Mars? Sorry money could be better spent elsewhere.
This is spectacular,but honestly,humans always place the cart before the horse...ever since 6000 ya when thundergods rampaged down the steppes...to form this wonderful system that started and is now the Streppenwolf "Monster".....who knows what I am referring too? Anybody?

Video games have better vision.
Got to do better than that people.
Going to Mars in the near term is an idiotic fantasy of bored billionaire dweebs aching for people to adore them.
How many kids can you feed for the price of a Mars Rover?
