“NASA currently spends $650 million a year on Mars exploration, and that figure was projected to double by 2010. But as a result of the demands of the space shuttle, President George W. Bush’s human exploration initiative, and cost overruns among other science projects, Mars spending now is slated to remain flat through that period.”
