Only ten?
Where in the world did you get such a staggering discount? Or are you counting on a massive boost to NASA's funding?
NASA budget in 2012: $3.5-$8.7 billion
DOD (not including the FBI, international affairs, veterans affairs, homeland security, many other things): $707.5 billion
Ten times would be a huge change. I mean, the interest on debt for past wars was $109.1?$431.5 billion itself.
Lemme put that into perspective for you: You're spending about 30x as much repaying the debt for the last wars than you are putting stuff into space.
I'll type it again so it's really really clear.
The budget for repaying the debt, not necessarily the whole debt itself, just the interest on the debt, for Iraq/Afghanistan, is around about thirty times the budget of NASA. The defense budget itself is two to three times *that* amount.
Ten. If only, mate. If only.
