NASA Budget is 19 Billion Dollers

But Charlotte NC spent $$$1.5 BILLION on only 9.7 miles of track? I could have started a Class one railroad for that much..

"In December, Congress and President Obama approved funding for NASA to the tune of $19.3 billion for fiscal year 2016. That’s almost $1.3 billion more than the agency received in FY2015 and $750 million above what it requested."
