At one point in my life, i would have agree'd, cut the budget to Nasa.
The over all budget to Build Ares 1, and Ares V (one ship is for cargo) 2 ships that will carry us to the Moon again, to explore moon bases and eventually put people on Mars carries from what I understand originally 28 billion, but has changed due to some engineering problems to 40 billion through 2007-2015, an 8 year program.
Meanwhile, the war in Iraq is totaling 12 billion a MONTH:
