This project is in no way "space armament". And importantly, you're missing the point: we easily have the resources and technology to eliminate poverty and want, be environmentally sustainable, and explore space all at the same time. We don't because doing so would not be profitable.
The only rationale behind funding NASA in the government's eyes is to develop space technology for US dominance. They don't just throw money away to go to Mars for national morale. Our satellite program is space warfare.

Your argument doesn't make sense then, how is exploring water on Mars profitable in your vision of the world?
You've already given the rationale for went the US funds these programs elsewhere in this thread so why are you asking me?
Because you're making the argument that "This project is in no way “space armament”"
So what is it? Why do we fund it? Seems like you agree that it's for the MIC, like I've been saying.
