The NASA budget in 2007 was .5% of the total Federal budget. And only a fraction of that was for unmanned exploration.

As a kid, no one was more interested in the space program that I was. I even cut school to watch the rocket launches. But that was 40 years ago.
Today, the NASA budget is around $10 BILLION a year and has been for quite some time. That's not chump change, but more importantly, where's the return for that investment over the last 30 years?
Nothing personal, but if you want to know if there's water on Triton, find others of like mind and fund it yourselves.

They don’t care. For people like them ignorance is bliss.
