No you can't, Jesus, read the actual article. The entire yearly budget for the US armed forces is around $600 billion.
They had $2.5 trillion in adjustment lines that mostly netted out, they didn't actually lose track of $2.5 trillion, because they didn't have $2.5 trillion to lose track of.
- creshal 10y ago> The entire yearly budget for the US armed forces is around $600 billion. Oh, only. My point still stands: 2.5T isn't that much for a project at a national, or even global, scale. A mere ten times ISS and ITER and LHC combined? Absolutely doable.
- tptacek 10y agoNo part of your original point appears to have survived that rebuttal.
- Houshalter 10y agoThat's a yearly budget though. This craft could be built over many years, so the comparison makes a bit more sense.
- creshal 10y agoIt would be built over several years anyway, you can't get a project of that scale done and ready in a year.
