NASA in the Recovery Package

NASA is getting some financing help from the Recovery package. I went in and did a search inside this file, and found the following on page 42:

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

SCIENCE

For an additional amount for "Science", $400,000,000.

AERONAUTICS

For an additional amount for "Aeronautics", $150,000,000.

EXPLORATION

For an additional amount for "Exploration", $400,000,000.

CROSS AGENCY SUPPORT

For an additional amount for "Cross Agency Support", $50,000,000.

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

For an additional amount for "Office of InspectorGeneral", $2,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2013.



What NASA will do with this money is the next question. Comments welcome! What should they spend the money on?
