Probe lands on Mars

NASA's Phoenix spacecraft have landed on Mars in search for life. After the Mars rovers now they sent another probe to Mars. While Mars is as good as any other worlds in space for exploration, I think NASA should be doing more than sending probes after probes. In my opinion, Martian life doesn't seems to exist like those superior monsters found in books and flims. When will they spend more on trying to get men into space? As far as I think, sending of probes belongs to the 70s and 80s. It is time to have something that we always see in movies like Star Trek, where space travel is like taking a cruise.
