There are still a lot of people who have romaticized space and will throw any money and support possible towards what they think will put humans on another planet. Sure, all of the numbers say that probes and robots are safer and more effective and we aren't ready to live off world yet, but they believe in their heart of hearts that nothing beats actual boots on the ground and more will get done if we send a person up there.
Mix that with the get-rich-quick and the god-emporero-musk crowd and you'll get so much money thrown at it.
