We need some new resources, however. I will call upon Congress to increase NASA's budget by roughly a billion dollars spread over the next five years.

A lot less than 5 percent a year.

Roughly??? Meaning not really a billion.

One billion divided by 5 is 200 million a year...that's chicken feed!

How about some of that 87 billion that's going to Iraq?

Now, I'm all for the President's Iraq policy and I don't know the specifics of the 87 bil (how many years that's spread out, etc), but just imagine if that money was going to the space program!
