It's already triple the price. The original budget for the mission was on the order of a billion dollars, it was a New Frontiers mission and missions of that class aren't supposed to go over that limit.

I appreciate the science NASA manages to get done, but there is something seriously wrong with that agency's budgeting process and has been for decades.
