$100 billion and the next 12 years

$8.33 bil/year

That's 0.167% of a $5tril budget.

I thought the budget was still around $2.2 trillion, but the way the GOP spends these days it may be around $5 trillion. You're right about the NASA budget not being that much on a percentage basis, but I'd rather see the money spent more wisely.

$8 billion here. $8 billion there. Pretty soon you're talkin' 'bout serious money.

It all adds up...to $5,000,000,000,000,000...a few bucks at a time.

Still too much - both the numerator and the denominator.
