And you know who is now paying for most of that 1/2 budget for Manned Spaceflight? The USA.

With the last shuttle mission done, USA is now paying $55M a seat on each 3 seat launch (and one is always a Russian Pilot).

Well, there is that pesky parachute release timing maneuver at the end of the flight...
