The minute they find a gold mine on the planet there will be fleets of people volunteering and investors chipping in I'm sure.
As for expense, Columbus's trip out west was considered a waste of money and completely insane, but without the risk taken it may have been another 100 years before someone dared try an exploration like that. Him wanting to go out there wasn't purely for making his mark as much as he thought it would be incredibly profitable as well. So as long as they come up with an incentive like that the mission will be done sooner rather than later.
Science? great, Exploration? yeah, brave? sure.. riches beyond? Sign me up! ;)
