    If the DIRECT proposals had been adopted instead of being(surprise, surprise) totally ignored; AugPan Option 1 could have been fulfilled (minus the ARES of course!) at a total cost of 19B instead of $30B+ using a budget increase factor of 1.5 - realistic considering NASA's track record of totally innaccurate estimating!
