We could be doing far better than that, if only we'd get working on propulsion systems instead of wasting money on low-tech trivia like manned missions to Mars. In this galaxy alone there must be enough usable planets that everyone now on earth could own several. Virtually infinite riches are out there, waiting for us, if we could just figure out how to get there. Plenty of incentive, but too much bureaucracy in the way. This will be the ultimate test for the free enterprise system.
