里根总统上星期公布的1989年共10,940亿美元的财政预算于大科学大为优厚。超导超级对撞机(SSC)、空间站和战略防御倡议(SDI),都列入了巨额投资的名单。但国会不大可能愿意与白宫携手把美国卷入只在里根离任后才能感觉其巨额花销的这些浩大工程。即使在争论不大的领域,国会最后批准的预算也会与白宫提出的蓝本大不相同。

Last year, President Reagan announced in 1989 a total of 10,940 billion U.S. dollars in its budget for science. Superconducting Super Collider (SSC), space station and strategic defense initiative (SDI), have included a huge investment list. But it is unlikely that Congress will be willing to work with the White House to get the United States involved in these massive projects that only feel reckless in spending huge amounts of money after Reagan leaves office. Even in less controversial areas, the final approval by Congress of the budget will be very different from the White House's proposed blueprint.
