The fact is that NASA had a clear plan for the space station all along.

There are many, many things you can criticize NASA for. How ISS has

Reagan told NASA, "we'll give you $8 billion for a space station".
Which NASA was going to build.

But that wicked stingy old congress has only given NASA--how much?--to
build it.
