How is launching a rocket with the hopes that we can go to Mars not exploration?

If he doesn't do it who is going to do that?

Surely NASA has has fifty years to do something like this (excepting the ISS which is).

Billionaire hatred is a real thing. He will not be riding on this thing and likely never will be, so I'm not sure this is a great analogy.

What makes you say that? Musk has made it known he has a dream to "... die on Mars. Hopefully not at the point of impact."
