    There are some immediate smaller problems that could eat some quick money, like funding Mars Sample Return, uncancelling Janus, some one-off funding for an ISS deorbit tug and commercial stations, and probably untold amounts of facility maintenance.

    But yeah, an immediate doubling without warning doesn’t sound like a recipe for success.
