9 Big NASA Projects went Over Budget.

What would you do if you had about $6,530,000,000? NASA would spend it on supplies and research for 9 different space projects. Some of which, I don't think are necessary . For example, i think the solar dynamics observatory sun studying satellite really matters! I think that it's $826 down the drain! Other NASA projects that are over budget are Mars Science Laboratory ($2.3 Billion!), Aquarious Water Probe ($256 Million), which is basically a part of the Mars Science laboratory because it just studies the water on Mars. Kelper Earth-like Hunter ($594.8 Million), which I think is also a waste around this time period because the market is low, if these 594.8 million dollars were sent back to the U.S. government, maybe the economy crisis wouldn't be as bad. However, if Kelper Earth-like Hunter was already launched, maybe it would find another world like the planet earth and the world's economy would become better. But, the Probe is going to launch in March 2009, and it may or may not take more than a couple years for the probe to even find anything. Hopefully, some of these probes/satellites will produce a grand success for all to joy so it will not be a complete waste.
