This AGI summary of the budget is nice and concise but I wanted to point out one misleading line regarding NASA:

“The termination of Constellation leaves the U.S. with a likely multi-year gap in human spaceflight capabilities. ”

This neglects to mention that the continuation of Constellation would *also* leave a multi-year gap in human spaceflight, possibly even longer than the gap predicted with the new plan.
