A mercenary is someone hired to temporarily serve in a foreign army, they are normally specialized fighters with a specific skill, for example, archery. Unlike an official soldier of an army, a mercenary doesn't serve for political interests but for money or any other personal interest.

In the Roman Empire, mercenaries were non-Roman citizens hired to fortify the Empire's borders from any external attack or offensive. If they served for 25 years, they were given citizenship and rewarded with a plot of land to farm in their retirement.

Answer: I would support this endeavor, because we are running out of resources on Earth. Colonizing Mars would also open up new jobs on and off Earth. Some would argue that we could better spend that money on helping save our planet rather the colonizing a new one. I would have to say good luck, getting the oil executives and other current un-renewable energy executives to sign up for that one. It would take hundreds of years and more money to switch from where we are now to completely renewable. Also the benefits of the scientific boom from that kind of money being put into those programs would be enormous, and not just in the space exploration. It would also help just about every other scientific field as well.
