NASA faces a bill of about $1.9 billion to clean up its sites across the U.S, a report by government auditors has found.

The space agency faces soaring costs for the restoration of former sites, with the potential costs having increased by 45 percent since 2014, according to the Government Accountability Office report published last Friday.

If history is any indication, the clean-up costs would probably end up being double or triple that as contractors see the opportunity to do a bit of gouging.

Not just gouging but clean up standards keep changing so what's "good enough" today isn't good enough years from now when the job is finally finished (if ever)
