With the exception of the Apollo program, NASA budget constiutes annual less than 1% of the total us federal budgets. about 15 billion a year (in 2007 dollars).
Its amazing NASA has been able to do so much with so little over the years.
It is a sad day when we say 15 billion a year is so little. That is enough money to buy 750,000 $20,000 cars. What does it cost to find freakin water? :idunno:
