Would space travel be better off privatized or should it be left to the government?

It should be left to the government.
Best to have both around.
SPACE FOR SPACENOIDS SIEG ZEON
Left to the government, I mean how tacky would it be to see the first man on Mars putting the flag into the ground that's sponsored by McDonald's or Apple.
What do you think?

Private. A Bernie Sanders NASA would have affirmative action astronauts and put blacks on the mars for free.

At least you didn't have to pay for it with higher taxes.
Both.
If you leave it to governments, it will always stay expensive and always be restricted.
If you put it to private industry, it's more open to innovation and cost cutting (with safety regulations, that doesn't always mean replace heavy glass windows with plastic wrap).
The latter makes it cheaper, the former in the beginning provides the base to build from.

i'd rather pay for humanity to touch another planet than for shaniqua's 50th baby
Probably both, but I would much rather see an American flag in Mars than fucking a fucking Spacex flag.

Don't really give a fuck as long as getting job done
Government does the dangerous unprofitable frontier work, private industry comes in once things are somewhat safe and profitable.
Private industry still benefits from government space programs anyway. All NASA does is research and administration. The actual building of spacecraft is contracted out to private companies.

Who cares about flags in space? I don't care if Hasbro's flag is there as long as they help humanity reach into the cosmos.
