credit NASA / caption: Will Obama's act help accelerate Ares' development?
UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention that I linked to the wrong version of Obama's fiscal stimulus act so I have corrected this post
For those of you wondering where to find the online version of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 that Obama has signed into law, here is the link, care of Jeff Foust, to the final ARRA 2009 but you will have to scroll down quite some way before you get to the actual NASA appropriation - but see a screengrab from the online Act in the extended section of this blog post

The version of HR 1 linked to here is actually the final version that passed the Senate, not the version signed into law yesterday. The Senate's version was later reconciled in conference committee with the House's version, which included only $600 million. That final version includes $1 billion for NASA, including $400 million for exploration programs (with no direction regarding how that money should be spent). The details, for now, can be found in this document:
http://thomas.loc.gov/home/h1/Recovery_JS_DivA.pdf
It's a scanned-in version, so it can't be searched or copied/pasted; scroll to page 16 for the NASA information. I suspect this will make its way into the regular THOMAS system in the next day or so.
