Mistaken as gospel and spread around the country by countless news outlets outside of Brevard County, an oft-quoted but flawed trillion-dollar cost estimate is coloring public opinion on President Bush's plan to send astronauts back to the moon by 2020, and it's swaying election-year political debates. A more realistic estimate: $229 billion over the next 16 years.TrackBack URL for this entry:

So for roughly 14.3 billion made in yearly installments over the next 16 years we get that great big total. I think nasa would like the shuttle return to flight and a little seed money to go for the 2005 budget an congress is only willing to give part of that sum. Complaining that they want more details before signing on the dotted line so to speak.

Also why we must leverage from what we have if the SEI vision is ever to be started.
