I really don&#x27;t see many multi millionaires sitting on Mars trying to do subsistence agriculture honestly and if some want to, they are welcome...<p>You are missing the point. Capital funded the moon missions as well - just in that case it was the capital of the community you belong to, let&#x27;s say your nation, so you feel involved. Nowadays NASA can&#x27;t even put a human being into orbit any more - and that&#x27;s not the fault of SpaceX.<p>As a &quot;public Common&quot;, everybody should be allowed to go there. That&#x27;s not the same as to claim ownership, which indeed should be publicly and very well regulated.
