Clearly you hate poor people, the nation of Russia, and are a racist.

From "Children of Men" director Alfonso Cuarón. No idea how this is going to be a whole movie, but damn, intense trailer. |

They're foreign. Space Battleship Yamato is a live action version of an old anime. I haven't seen it, nor really want to, but recognized the name. Cargo's another foreign film. I've been wanting to get around to see it if I can find it. |

I don't know Kaffis. Personally, I just feel like they look at anything that helps science or the people, and then cut that first. |

One hopes it's the movie industry attempting to generate interest in space so that the public will support funding a space program again. |

The total outlays by the Fed in 1992 were $1,381,540,000,000 The total outlays by the Fed in 2007 were $2,728,700,000,000 When one compare the spending for the two years, the outlay for NASA was not gutted so much as pretty constant. What am I missing? |

Wiki sez: In 1977 the NASA budget was $11,658M In 1992 the NASA budget was $15,310M In 2000 the NASA budget was $14,926M In 2007 the NASA budget was $15,861M The above is in constant 2007 $ As a reference, the Moon Landing was in 1969, the first space shuttle launch was in 1981. I too bought into the tale that NASA's budget had been slashed over the years... |

Given inflation, isn't maintaining a constant still basically getting "slashed?" FY 2012 budget was $17.7B, I'd be happy with 30. |

Nope, using "constant dollars" is a means of accounting for inflation. The "nominal" dollar amount is the money allocated in that year, the constant dollar is what the nominal dollar amount would be worth (in this case) in 2007. $30B got us to the moon, I'd like to see what they could do with it now. Another thing I found interesting what the amount of contractor labor that was actually used during the Space Race time period. |

NASA functionality isn't restricted to dollar outlays. |
