The question is who is going to pay the huge price to put man on Mars? Will the funds be private or public and will they come from U.S.A or somewhere else in the world? There are many questions surrounding this but everyone already knows that the price tag will be huge. We faced similar questions in the 1960's when we were going to the moon but this is a much larger task and will cost considerably more money. The estimated price tag is hovering around $500 billion and would take around 30 years to accomplish. Where will this come from and what if it never shows up? And is putting a man on Mars even worth $500 billion. I guess we will find out in the upcoming years.
