That $35B is for the rocket ship, not the whole project. Even so, NASA doesn't have the money to do it - budget cuts in favor of other things, including more cost-effective rocket ships for nearer-earth work which is mostly what they will be doing in the foreseeable future. Guess we'll have to wait for SpaceX to make enough money from their shroter-range rocket ships to try Elon's Mars trip.
