Wouldn't really make a lot of difference. The general public already
thinks spaceflight is neat; they just don't think it's worth a whole lot
of money. This is fundamental, and will not change.

Turning the general populace into space enthusiasts *will not happen*, and
plans which assume that it will are pointless fantasies. The only way to
get to (say) Mars is to lower the cost to the point that overwhelming
public enthusiasm is not required.
