This is great & inspiring and all.
I just can't help pausing at the apparent tension between "we embark on this journey for all humanity" and "strengthening America’s leadership on Earth and in space".
There's certainly nothing wrong with the USA's space agency serving the interests of the USA, and there will (eventually) be technology & economic benefits for other nations too, I just find the language jars.

The mess that is the Congressional budget process will guarantee it. Much like fusion and AI, an American on Mars always seems about 20-25 years away.
