What is MarsDrives position on supporting government funded missions?
Governments have traditionally been the major source of funding for human space exploration and for many groups it seems an obvious point to support and advocate for such missions. At MarsDrive we believe governments are vital to space investment and will remain strong customers but we want to explore options for human expansion into space. The private aerospace sector usually builds all the hardware for space missions and we want to encourage that same private space sector at an appropriate time to begin formulating their own space programs with a mix of government and perhaps private customers.
