NASA Science $300,000,000 Aeronautics $250,000,000 Shuttle Replacement $500,000,000 Cross-Agency Support (Construction) $250,000,000 Office of the Inspector General $2,000,000 Total = $1,302,000,000 National Science Foundation Research and related activities $1,000,000,000 Major equipment and facilities construction $150,000,000 Education and human resources $50,000,000 Office of the Inspector General $2,000,000 Total = $1,202,000,000
