At the very least, I find it telling that millionaire Dennis Tito, the first space tourist in American history, has outlined plans for a 501-day privately funded mission to Mars using SpaceX's Falcon Heavy launch rocket combined with a Dragon spacecraft.

Spent part of yesterday listening to a re-broadcast of a Space Show in which Tito name was mentioned. It was in connection with the concept of Maslow Windows, which describes a period of transformation, such as the Apollo Era. Dr Cordell, the guest on that Space Show episode, claims that the next Maslow Window is about to open at about the year 2015. Cordell says the public is ready for something exciting like Tito's proposed mission to Mars.
