Someone posted a NASA budget plan chart for the near future, a possible cross section of all possible budgets. A small kick now and then just inflationary growth for the next 15 years. But in 17 years the ISS and the Space Shuttle are zero and manned exploration is tripled. Nearly the same money plus inflation, but a completely re-oriented set of goals. Hard to imagine anybody jacking the budget much higher unless they spot that incoming killer asteroid.

Nearly the same money plus inflation, but a completely re-oriented set of goals. Can they get to Mars on that?
More to the point, can they get to Mars on half that?
