And how do you know that this has not been done? And how do you know what a realistic cost is? Please tell us how much it costs to support a graduate student for a year. Please show us some examples of project costing you have done, for example in Earth-based R&D?
I've known plenty of Earth based R&D projects that cost a lot more than $4 million a year.
