The exploring of unknown before has a great value in Western consciousness. The Outer Space we saw for centures , but only since the 17 centure started to use telescope to explore it. And Only in the middle of 20- centure a human achieved enough good technologies to launch a sputnic(1957) and then a human(1961) into Space.
The Americans said that they was on the moon in 1969, but the number of people suspisious about that growing by 1% a year. So they did it in less then 10 years, but no one couldn't repeat that in 50 years after there first launch. And now even there is no Moon program. I will not surprise if no one will not do this till 100 year anniversary. With a lot of fails in space race in 1970 the humanity limited the exploring space with sending robots to remote planets of our solar system and establishing a space station. Now the only one activity in space we have - international space station.
After the fails of manned spaceship travell to the space, catastrophes of chelanger and colomblia. The Naca give the challenge to enthusiasts, that's always were a lot. And over a decade ago they found bunch of advantages that it has. The first one is price. Usually if government give some bussiness process to the private sector it starts working much more effectivelly. And with exploring space it looks the same, but financial audit on big scale it's kind of a thing.
The other one much more valueable benefit is reputation. NACA has one of the most controvercial reputation beetween all other space agencies. The most powerfull scientific research, the biggest budget and worst results. What they now doing is a reall big question.
The very stupid idea of space travel for bussinessman has only one aim to heat decreasing interest to space. For 250000$ for a flight you just get little bit different view from a window for some minutes. Any space computer game gives you much more dive in space with very little spence for this.
The most big argument of folowers of explotation the space that now we use sattelits for gepositionig and translation of signal. That's also we don't really need the cost for this is too much and the quality less then from systems on earth.
And flying to the Mars, despite the fails even to fly with big payload goods to venera and Mars in 70-es. Now we look at a lot of news about plans to travel to Mars. The main newsmaker Elon Mask, has a reputation the most successeful inventor in the world. With dozen of strange statements, he promised to colonise Mars in nearest future.
Now making trials launch with a rocket with less payload then saturn5(That was used for travell to Moon). He says that do first manned launch to Mars in 2024 and Next year to Moon that's can be good for America if he achives at least manned spaceship launch to Mars. But now we see that all his aims postponned...
