That you have brought up this i would like to make one coment .................One estimate Shows that if NASA has worked on the same pace and Funding that it got During the Space Race .......Humans would have been on Mars long time back.................after the Fall of Soviet Union the Will has been dampened a bit so has the Funding for the Space program .......the Congress has been on a defenceive towards the taxpayers glaring eyes on why it should spend those huge amounts on Space ? ....
A reminder the Topic is why are Developing Countries Like India and China investing this much money in space............is their enough incentive in it ? .......Does the Space pays you back enough to support itself or is it just the inflated Egos that drive people into Space? 
Peace
