A Japanese billionaire has bought all of the seats aboard a Big Falcon Rocket trip around the moon. That will help pay for construction of the rocket that should occur in the next three to five years. That's a venture capitalist time paradigm that ought to be emulated by N.A.S.A., who decided not to finance the Space X BFR.
What N.A.S.A. could chip in would be a realistic study of building a Mars Gateway that is something like the moon gateway it has a a present project. The mars Gateway could be constructed on Phobos or simply orbit and should have next-robotic assembly and 3-d printing.
