More power to you for unraveling those budget documents (seriously). I started reading through them and it drove me crazy trying to find the same summary information working backwards through the years, since the format changes from year to year.
So assuming that the 800 number was just something tossed out informally by someone who was not reading a budget projection at the time (which is what I've said all along anyway) ..... so.... uh.... Well, I stand corrected. Obviously the MSL project is not suffering a series of cost overruns. Alan Stern must have been mistaken when he claimed that multiple budget overruns have crossed his desk. All those articles in the press must have got it all wrong. And these latest reports of another overrun with the potential for tens of millions (I think up to 200 million was mentioned more than once) ..... must just be rumors. Glad that we got that settled. |
