That just sounds more like a culture issue than a scientific one. I agree with the other responder about fixing it without a government budget. But I also do not think we are anywhere near technologically advanced enough for availability to the public to really matter outside of maybe asteroid mining in the near future.

Manned scientific missions do matter. Especially for places with interest in human habitation. Those are few and far between for now but will matter at some point in time.
