---
Some argue that human spaceflight is such a complex, dangerous venture that it should be left to government agencies. Bob Clarebrough counters that private ventures are just as capable as governments, if not more so, to explore the solar system.

Britain's new space agency: a provincial subcommittee or a national asset?

Why should humans go to Mars?
