From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's not a question of if anyone could tho, it's a question of why would anyone waste all that money for basically just PR...
To my knowledge no one has taken money from their starving citizens so they can light a billion dollars on fire. I still wouldn't be impressed if someone did it, even if they get to tell "first!" after it.
Again, just because no one has done something yet, doesn't mean no one else could. They just choose to spend their money on something other than PR.
It's not just PR. Developing the engineering capability to reach Mars is a goal of its own. There are not many nations that can achieve that.
Did you get caught on a loop?
I'm not going to keep explaining the same thing to you over and over again and hoping you eventually respond. If thats the level of attention you need, just read my comment over and over again
