How much is the MIC costing every US citizen? I did some research on the MIC, but I never got around to checking on the figure of cost per person. I just know it is way too much. And Mitt Romney will never be president because most people don't like when people get money in a slimy way.

... but watching the control room scene as Curiosity landed was well worth the $7.00 price of admission. And whatever the cost is for ongoing discoveries and updates, I am sure it is cheaper than any cable/satellite company's charges.

NASA rocks!
