Funny you should mention $800 billion.
I'm assuming most of you don't follow the 'Black Monday' thread, so I'll recap:
NASA, total allocation
, since inception: ~$800 billion
NASA, current, annual allocation: ~$20 billion
.
.
.
Private and quasi-government companies,
this year: $8,000 billion.
Yep. That's 10 times more money than everything spent on NASA in 50 years, and
400 times NASA's budget this year.
