That's a very weird headline. The report doesn't question the importance of "human spaceflight beyond earth orbit". It surveys possible destinations and concludes that mars and its moons are the only places in the solar system we have any hope of reaching within the foreseeable future (does that surprise anybody?), and therefore that's what NASA should focus on. The report's main point is that a major increase in NASA's funding, as well as an increase in political support and international cooperation, is required for this to happen.
