- I was just thinking about the 75,000 people currently working
- on the space station. I figure between salary, benefits and
- overhead, they must each cost about $100,000. This means that
- even without hardware, the station is costing $7.5B. Since the
- station budget is only about $2B, where is the rest of the $$
- coming from and how is there ever going to be enough money for
- hardware?
