This

 or the faintest possible scenario that may be able to support
life
. All
this
research
 on
space
 obviously is very expensive as it involves a lot of equipment, fuel , machinery and not to forget, experienced astronauts and researchers. More often than not, it involves a lot of experiments and test runs which
also
 consumes time and needs finances. In conclusion, keeping in mind that there may be a time in future where we may need to live on other planets, I definitely agree that we need to spend money on
research
 about
space
. We have evidence that there may be
life
 on other planets and all
this
 needs money.
