    It is not good as a tool to replace systems that can work fine while chasing a profit.

I agree with that. However, I don't see that the private sector has the incentive to cover all of our needs when it comes to space exploration. They will likely play a part, but I think that some goals will only be achieved by a government funded body. Much of what NASA does is akin to unprofitable research.

I agree with that, but it's starting to seem like creating the infrastructure and systems needed to really prepare humanity to being a mars trip isn't going to come from government.
