I have a more optimistic view of private sector space exploration, but it may be based simply on a lack of recent reading. Private launch companies are using robots/unmanned probes right now, but surely at some point they will branch to manned flights, given that their stated purpose tends to be putting people on Mars for an extended period of time.
