The Constallation Program was initiated by Bush and was later canceled by Obama, and it was a project of NASA. I need to know how much it would have cost to go through with the program, and for my essay, I need to know my source so I can cite it.Can anyone tell me how much the Constellation Program would have cost if not canceled, including your source?From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellati鈥?/a>
"When President George W. Bush established his new space exploration policy to return humans to the moon, NASA estimated the policy would cost $230 billion (in 2004 dollars) through 2025.[19] This figure includes the Commercial Crew and Cargo program, which is separate from the Constellation program. NASA has estimated that the Constellation program would cost over $97 billion (in 2008 dollars) through 2020, half of which would be for Ares I and Orion."
The wikipedia link has a reference linked to it that you should be able to use:
^ a b GAO Constellation Program Cost and Schedule Will Remain Uncertain Until a Sound Business Case Is Established. Government Accountability Office. (Report). Retrieved on February 3, 2010.
Here is the direct link to the government accountability office publication above from last summer: http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d09844.pdf
This is what you will want to reference and it should provide more useful information.
