@hisham_hm I remember having to explain, as a bairn, why I wasn't a big fan of WBush's Mars plans, when I'm such a big space fanboy - was it just that I didn't like WBush? And I eventually came around to "I want a Mars base, but I want a human Mars base, not an American Mars base". And so I DEFINITELY don't want a privatised Mars base, or a privatised space station.
