Sorry but the private sector will do zip if there is no profit, so could somone please explain where they think the private sector would profit from working on putting man on Mars...?

Visionary projects can only go forward when there is political will to use government (the peoples) money to facilitate much of it, big ideas like this require big investments and solid conviction against inevitably histerical (conservative) political opposition.
