If there is no funding for orbital space flight, how are they supposed to go to Mars? Missing funds is a NASA problem, it's NASA's biggest problem today, and if it doesn't get fixed, nobody goes to Mars (at least nobody from NASA). IMO all that sandbox research they are doing now is useless, because they ain't gonna need it: they ain't gonna need it if they are not going, and they ain't gonna need it if and when they are really preparing to go because everything is gonna be different and nobody will give a shit about how such a power device might have looked like 10 years ago.
