Nice post @brianphobos. Space travel will be privately funded. Unless there is an imminent threat I don't our governments will care much beyond lower orbit. Hoping scientists will have more say on how things are run some day.

Thank you for your comment. I'm sort of hoping that some of the privately funded projects will push the government agencies to compete. If SpaceX beats NASA to Mars that could be a game changer.

Having the government compete with private industry is not ideal. Tom Woods did an episode about going to Mars with private funding.
