T he people who say that all we need is private space travel are
simply delusional. My book on space, Space Chronicles: Facing
the Ultimate Frontier, was originally titled Failure to Launch: The
Dreams and Delusions of Space Enthusiasts. Space enthusiasts are the
most susceptible demographic to delusion that I have ever seen.
Private enterprise can never lead a space frontier. It’s not
possible because a space frontier is expensive, it has unknown
risks, and it has unquantified risks. Historically, governments
have done this. They have drawn the maps, they have found
where the trade winds1 are, they have invented the new tools to go
where no one has gone before. Then, when the routines are set up,
you cede that to private enterprise.
That’s why I don’t know what they’re thinking. The first colony
on Mars is not going to be built by a private company. How are
you going to make money? You’re not.
Look what’s going on now. Private enterprise is giving us access
to low-Earth orbit for less than what NASA was providing. That
should have been happening decades ago. Why is that happening
now? Because low-Earth orbit is no longer the frontier. NASA has
been going in and out of low-Earth orbit since 1962.

NOTESI see private enterprise as a fundamental part of creating a
space industry, but there will always be the frontier.
When Curiosity touches down,2 will that be enough to inspire young
people to go into the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics) and to get the American people behind a manned
mission to Mars?
Anything NASA does in space that has never been done before
drums up interest in science. Images from the Hubble Telescope, the
Spirit and Opportunity rovers, broadcasts from the International Space
Station—anything NASA does accomplishes this.
Whether that’s enough to get humans on Mars, I don’t think so.
Curiosity is cheap compared to sending humans out of low-Earth
orbit. A different kind of understanding of the value of sending
humans into space needs to be had before that happens. I don’t
think Curiosity is a stepping stone to that.
Are the barriers to sending humans to Mars political?
No. It’s an understanding—that the public does not yet have—of the
role of NASA as a flywheel3 of innovation, influencing not only direct
spin-offs but also the culture itself. When you feel that you are part of
an innovation nation, you think innovatively, no matter your field.
You start thinking that the science fiction story you just read
or movie you just saw is maybe in reach. Maybe it’s possible. For
example, in the movie Prometheus, they have these flying spheres
that go up and down caves and use laser tomography to map
their structure. We don’t have that, but that’s really cool and I can
imagine having that.
That idea might inspire me to try and create it instead of just
sitting back and saying, “Oh, that’s the future and it will probably
never happen. Now let me go back and watch Snooki.”4
I am certain that once that flywheel is set into motion and
the discoveries of NASA become writ large in the newspapers,
that people will come to understand that innovations in science
and technology—brought to you by the force of nature we
call NASA—are the engines of 21st Century economies. It’s an
investment, not a handout.
What is it going to mean to the human race if we land on Mars?
Here’s the problem. I don’t know how old you are, but I’m guessing
you were born after we landed on the Moon. Now, given that fact,
I’m guessing that there is no single event in your life that is positive
where you say, “I remember where I was at that moment.” Is there?
No.

scheduled to land on Mars.
