$1,424,501,975,790 approximate cost of wars at this instant
114,761,359 number households in the U.S.

$12,412 and rising, per household cost of war.

G.W. Bush gave each of us $300 back in tax breaks at the cost of over 12 grand in future taxes. How exactly was that a good deal?

There's nothing for us on Mars other than rocks. We've got plenty of rocks here.

Until some county like China claims the planet for their own and starts a colony there. Then all of a sudden it will become a national security issue to grab up as much extra-terrestrial real estate as possible as quickly as possible.

"I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive
I been all around the world
Some people say, I done all right for a girl"

They'll only do it if they find oil or gold on it.

The one thing countries love more than anything else and will fight over to claim is territory. Once the acquisition of extraterrestrial territory begins, all nations will want as much of it as they can get regardless of the local resources (which is likely to be considerable considering all this territory has never been mined).
