I'm kind of neutral on the idea of colonizing or just landing on Mars. On the one hand, I have a romantic attraction to the idea, but on the other we could get a shitload of great science done with the same money. Certainly we should do it some day, but is it worth investing in now? I don't know.
As for the bit about the lunar landing video being faked, I assumed meccalecca was just kidding. I understand how alluring conspiracy theories can be, but there are very few that I take seriously.
Those probably aren't the interesting responses you were hoping for, sorry.

Honestly I don't think the Human Race will kill itself or die out - we're too determined to stare death in the face and not do anything about it. The moon landing proved that with the motivation, we can achieve pretty incredible things. Put that on a global scale and I don't think colonizing other planets will be impossible.
My prediction for the future is that all the different surviving civilizations across the universe will eventually discover each other and team up like Mass Effect or some other sick shit.

I actually don't know anymore. I'm sure we've been to the moon, but after watching Kubrick/Shining documentary Room 237, I'm kind of convinced that we did indeed fake the moon landing due to the cold war/space race. Most of the theories in regards to the hidden meanings of the Shining are laughable, but that one seems viable. There's so many pieces in the puzzle, and the video potentially has the flaws that would give it away as a fake (green screen).
You make a great point about the use of funds for colonization vs better uses here on Earth.
As for the mentions that Mars is just a dead rock, so it'd be okay to allow humanity to destroy it, we're not 100% sure of that. Plus it may no always be a dead rock. The evolution of species on Earth took a long long time, starting with micro-organisms which remain unseen to the naked eye.
The vast expanse of the Universe and the potential of there being so many more than we've yet to discover is truly amazing _________________ http://jonnyleather.com

No worries, you'll get used to it in new time.
Strategically maybe it wasn't a good idea to do this during the BEUT, but whatever I'll rock it.
