Flying people to Mars is a bit silly, as was flying people to the Moon. Yes, it can be done with insane amounts of money but to what end? It'd not like Mars will be colonised anytime soon or that anyone would like to live there. We haven't colonised Antarctica. The Russians were more pragmatic with robotic exploration.
Expensive BMWs are equally silly. The company generally produces nice vehicles, but they also make hideous atrocities like the X4 and X6. What's worse is that Daimler followed suit and that every car company is producing SUVs now, that aren't any good off road and have lots of aerodynamic drag on road.
German Engineering students work on interesting projects like swarm drones playing team games. I suspect these are quite obviously projects with military applications or space exploration.
