With the SLS, politicians all over the country have found ways to enrich themselves and their backers under the guise of a legitimate space program. It's not that we don't spend a phenomenal amount of money on our space program..it's just that our space program has more to do with factories in Utah than it has to do with space. Mars Direct as planned would cost slightly less than 1/10th of Nasa's current budget, which is.....itself, less than 1% of federal discretionary spending. We have the money, we spend the money, we don't get mars. What we get is a subsidized solid rocket booster economy in support of shuttles which are no longer in operation. Hilariously, we failed to adequately fund SLS as a project even as we funneled money into particular congressional districts under that very same premise.
Speaking of the Elon Musks of the world, I don't know how that guy keeps his shit together. The language the senate used to craft it's list of demands is infuriating and not at all conducive to the commercialization of space.
(or, obviously, it's exploration)
