The idea of putting a man on Mars in the next 30 years is obviously a lofty goal. What makes this particular story interesting is that many among NASA claim that if this is going to happen it will be due to economics and private business and not necessarily international cooperation.
NASA is hoping to increase its space tourism program to help fund this effort. The belief is that the government will not be able to fully fund the Mars venture. It will take the effort of businesses to find a way to make this financially viable.
Who knows, maybe they should just start selling off the real estate preemptively. Wouldn't that raise funds?
