Should the government fund space travel?
No, the government should leave human space travel to private companies
There is the need for deep space and long-term human space travel, such as to the moon that has benefits in the scientific space and develops technology for spinoff later, but is not yet profitable or in any commercial way appealing for private companies with finite investment potential. Private companies may at some point find it profitable to manage human space travel, after which NASA should fund more exotic space exploration but the need for a research organisation in space is absolutely there
