I doubt there is money to be made in space except maybe very long term.

Money on the space program in general is scientific and technological advancements. We gain a lot from the moon program

Until we solve the problem of getting stuff into orbit cheaply, we’re kinda stuck.  

Ion mass drivers could address the distance issue, perhaps.  Or solar sails.

I think exploring Mars is better done with robots, not humans.  Then perhaps we build housing for humans with power etc. and send humans one way.  Maybe if we really want to colonize.

Stuff can be built robotically first.

From what I understand, it's still very much an open question whether human bodies can thrive long-term in that low of gravity.  The results of staying there for even just a little while are pretty severe, and one would have virtually no hope of returning to Earth gravity after any kind of extended stay.  It's a one-way trip, at the moment.  Maybe for always. 

And again, even a one-way trip is no guarantee of avoiding serious pain and medical consequences.

Martian gravity is about 38% of ours.  Probably with routine physical conditioning it would be ok.

It's not just about physical conditioning.  That low of gravity does stuff to a body that muscular and cardiovascular exercise doesn't address.
