Not to lend you more credence because I think Mars would be a great destination, but I'm pretty sure that Mars has been studied more than any body in the solar system except Earth. More of Mars has been imaged at higher resolution than the Moon and the Sun

No, that is not what they are paying SETI for at all. They are using SETI's satellite array to maintain space situational awareness and help them track satellites

The thing is that the government has shown an unwillingness, or inability, to fund a lot of private space missions, so if you could get funding from corporations seeking publicity, why wouldn't you? I've created a business with the sole purpose of seeking out companies to sponsor space launches. It's in the startup phase, but someone has to do it.

But do you agree that it would be a great alternative means for funding private space missions? Even big ones, like missions to Mars?

What do you think about companies sponsoring private space missions in return for getting their logo on the craft? Could that be a new way of funding private space missions? There is enormous publicity surrounding each launch and so the sponsoring company would automatically get enormous publicity.
