This debate is silly, because there’s a perfect way to split the difference. President just says: we’re putting a man on Mars sometime before 05:40 A.M. on December 14, 2022 (50 years after the last Apollo 17 lunar EVA), but we’re only worrying about getting there from LEO, to which privateers will haul our gear – and we encourage anyone to try to beat us.
