That is one prominent billionaire's idea for stuff to do in the next decade yes... But he wasn't a major factor considered by NASA when the current projects were funded.

Otherwise I'd probably agree Mars might have gotten too much federal funding vs other projects in the last decade.

I, for one, am eager to see any random billionaire go to Mars, provided they stay.

I would bet any amount of money none will.
