I'm impressed they didn't crash the fuck out of it.

Gubmint payed for it. Built by LockMart and JPL, neither of which is the government.

If you listen to NASA talk about their goals for Mars, you'll get a healthy dose of both SF and fantasy.

Clearly this project would have eventually been undertaken by Wal-Mart. No need for the government to do anything.
