You’re likely talking about going to Mars; Ma and Pa can’t do that on their own...

I don’t think Burt aspires to going to Mars. He’s working on the requirement for Branson’s suborbital program and his (Rutan’s) desire to build a truly orbital spaceship which would help fulfill the requirement for low cost access to near space. With Bigelow’s success at building space habitats that would provide access to near space. Rutan has definite opinions about NASA and it’s space program but to my knowledge he’s never proposed that he could build a Mars type vehicle. That’s for next year. ;^)
