When (not if) we set foot on Mars, the achievement will be one of humanity. Private company, government, US, China, it doesn't matter. We'll be on Mars, a multi-planetary race. How the accomplishment was funded and by who will not matter (to me, anyway).
- startupfounder 14y agoI totally agree, but what flag will be planted? Humans love to raise a flag from the geographic location known as a country they are a resident of. It would be amazing if we didn't need a flag this time around, just human accomplishment. But competition drives humans to do great things, look at the olympic records over time. If SpaceX received funding fromt he US government would there be a clause in the contract stating they have to raise an American Flag?
