The higher barrier is not physics

The space exploration is there waiting for us. The technology required was demonstrated last century and is available in Internet. Any person in the world from any country has the knowledge in there. We don't like allow this technology to the entire humanity because the fear. Governments try to control this technology in order to give a false hope that no one will use for non-peaceful use. At the end, the right to control a person act may remain in every person.

The higher barrier is not physics but in our minds. This is because sapce technology is so expesnive since the past century but it isn't at all.

Let's consider a real budget for an unmanned mission to the Moon like the GLXP.
Imagine we have a Lunar Rover of 500 grams of weight. According to the following study, using the cheapest industry means at least 1 million dollar plus development cost.
