I personally believe there's a lot of things that need to be done in cislunar space to support the Mars program.

I think a human-to-Mars mission will stretch us almost to our limits but I think is achievable.

My personal belief is that the priority for human spaceflight should be exploration, boots on the ground, either the Moon or Mars.

I think NASA should not be in that business except for providing technological support.
