I'd argue however that at the present moment, some people in the private sector have just as big of a chance, if not greater to be credited with taking the US(world) to Mars. Elon Musk's SpaceX is in my opinion just as close as NASA is in s

Well as far as I remember from when applying (unsuccessfully) to Stanford, they have a need aware policy, which means that they do take into account the financials of the student. So a student in a well-off family would be more likely to ge
