NASA - delta this!
NASAwatch had an interesting pointer to a Exploration budget document posted to spaceref.com
Exploration Systems budget projection through 2025
The y-axis is in millions of $
So, around 2015, the Explorations division budget exceeds that of NASA. And I don't know where they think the growth projected through 2008/9 is supposed to come from, with current projection they're $2.5 billion over budget in 2008, and $8 billion cumulative deficit through 2011!
On the face of it, if Exploration goes as planned, either everyone else takes 20-30% cuts, or they eliminate an entire division.
By 2015, basically all space science, earth science and aeronautics has to be eliminated.
Or they could receive more funding. Ha.
