Thanks Gabe, I'd forgotten about paying the Russians. When I first saw the figures for the new NASA budget I thought to myself that that's barely enough to keep the lights on and pay the bureaucrats. If you want a good example of how the government handles money and administrating it just check out how well it's doing with the $7.2 billion for high-speed Internet projects in last year's stimulus package. They should have just shut down NASA and put it out of its misery instead of leaving a "false front".....
