According to Steve Garber, the NASA History website curator, the final cost
of project Apollo was between $20 and $25.4 billion in 1969 Dollars (or
approximately $136 billion in 2007 Dollars).

National Cancer Institute?s budget for FY 2010 was $5.1* billion, excluding
the additional $1.3* billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
funds received by the Institute for spending in FY 2009 and FY 2010.
Overall, NCI?s budget has been relatively flat in recent years. During the
period from 2005 through 2010, the NCI budget averaged $4.9* billion per
year.

Other budgets on interest:

Peace corps ----325 million a year
NASA -------------- 19 Billion a year
Afghanistan----- 170 Billion a year


---- Sorry for my ranting.  I just thought it related to the issue of
prostrate cancer.

It certainly is, Aram.
