The space station funding is ~$8B over 10-12 years (A ludicrously long timeframe). The average funding is in $100M's/year. The NASA budget is about 6.5B/yr, and I believe about 50% of that is for aeronautics rather than astronautics. If anyone is interested in the actual breakdown, I'll try to dig it up and post it.
