>$100 million in funding. The mission doesn't have to happen during the Trump administration, just the funding.
Does not have to be a crewed mission.
Update 2025-22-01 (PST): - NASA can officially lead the mission, even if SpaceX is contracted to perform more than $100 million of work. (AI summary of creator comment)

Yeah a mission to mars probably wouldn't cost under $1B, I just wanted to put some threshold number in to rule out like NASA putting a small science payload on a SpaceX mission without providing significant funding.
Updated the title to say "help fund" instead of "fund"
