Twitter dump incoming, because jfc

As we speak, some screenwriter in Hollywood is banging out a first draft of a movie based on this, it's going to be an awesome spy thriller about how a meeting in some dinky Cafe in Amsterdam changed the course of global geopolitics forever. It's going to be great, I'm talking Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy awesome.

Sometimes I think these things happen just so movies can be made out of them.

WASHINGTON — The final version of a fiscal year 2016 spending bill will provide NASA with nearly $19.3 billion, funding most agency programs at or above the administration’s original request.

The omnibus spending bill, released by House and Senate appropriators early Dec. 16 after extended negotiations, allocates $19.285 billion to NASA for fiscal year 2016. That total is $756 million above the administration’s requested budget and the total provided the agency in a House spending bill passed in August. It is nearly $1 billion above a Senate bill that appropriators approved in June but was never passed by the full Senate.

Well, that's one thing I have to give the Republicans, they consistently throw more money at NASA than Democratic administrations.
