"While the ultimate goal of human space flight in the inner solar system is the exploration of the planet Mars, there are other important goals for exploration of the inner solar system that will advance our scientific understanding and allow the United States to develop and demonstrate capabilities that will be needed for the scientific exploration and eventual settlement of Mars."

The ultimate goal is clearly designated as Mars and this section also clearly shows a misunderstanding with regard to what is needed to reach Mars. Developing and demonstrating capabilities needed for Mars most certainly applies a precursor approach and also implies that we can't aim straight for the target when it has been specifically named the ultimate goal.

Regards,
Mark
