No bucks, no Buck Rogers

Of course, anybody who wants to go to Mars with his own money is free to go!!
But that hasn't happened yet and too many signs show it won't happen before so many years we won't be around to see it.

I want something I can look foward too because it might just happen when I'm still around and the Moon is it.
