And as long as you and those who think like you are willing to pay for all of it I don't have a problem with it. But inevitably you space types want the government (read taxpayers) to foot the bill for your fantasies.
I suspect you do have a problem with us free enterprise space types too.
Right now the access is relatively primitive...and essentially overwhelmingly risky. Squashing flat normal economic incentives. There are several ways to deal with that. Governmentally encourage (via credits or outright subsidization of) research into economical space access alternatives or a governmental monopoly on space access...(the only entity which can routinely afford the flights and/or the liability issues)...which is what we are stuck with now.
And no amount of uncomprehending griping by you is likely to stop this "wasteful" governmental predilection to go into space.
You likely don't like ANY role for governmental encouragement.
I.e., you likely still grump about the wasteful voyages of Christopher Columbus, or the hideously costly Louisiana Purchase, and the dastardly expensive Seward's Folly in purchasing Alaska...the boon-doggles of the Transcontinental Railways, etc.
