President to sign space policy directive Monday
by Jeff Foust — December 11, 2017
Congress has already offered its view of NASA exploration priorities in the form of NASA authorization legislation. The latest NASA authorization, signed into law in March, endorses a “stepping stone approach to exploration” with “missions to intermediate destinations in sustainable steps” while maintaining a long-term goal of human missions to Mars.
That bill directed NASA to develop an “initial exploration roadmap” that outlined its plans, to be delivered to Congress by Dec. 1. A separate provision instructed NASA to perform an independent assessment of the feasibility of a human mission to Mars specifically in 2033, due 180 days after the bill’s enactment in March . NASA has not announced the status of either report.

Eventually the info does show up but its going to cost Nasa at some point.....

That's not too surprising. There are too many funding diversions and not enough coordinated development effort.
