You all are forgetting how important the government is.
Government often leads advances in unknown tech because all private industry does is exploit discoveries, not create them.
We won't know if there is a MARKET in Mars if we don't go there.
We didn't know about the market in space satellites until governments went up there.
Are governments efficient? No. Hell no. But they are effective at pursuing goals.
If you want to make profit, THEN bring in the work done by capitalists to exploit and hack the system.
