I'm not sure that's true. SpaceX gets paid to launch dozens of satellites from private sector companies. It isn't just govt
That's satellites in earth orbit letting millions talk, not astronauts in deep space with no business case. Vastly different.

it's also possible that (like the ISS) we can do more rapid experiments as we increase our outposts

while the Apollo is one big look at me, it did rapidly push technological capabilities. I would presume a Mars mission would too

that being said, I do agree we need a sustainable way to do it
