The acquisition price for Instagram has been falling with Facebook's stock. The budget for these spacecraft is bound to be much, much higher than initial estimates (based on historical precedent). FWIW I am not complaining about the budget for these or the virtually guaranteed overruns. I think a strong space program is essential if the US is to remain technically relevant over the next 50 years.
