No, NASA has a budget limited by the Federal Government which can only spend so much money on blowing up the moon (a recent NASA mission that discovered water on the moon). Despite what the answer below says, NASA is limited to a strict budget imposed on them by the U.S. government. The effects of this can be easily seen in times of bad economical conditions. During the Great Depression, NASA was nearly closed down in an effort to save money.-----Yes, it is run by the government and the government can do what they want with NASA. Although if your talking about employees/ astronauts etc... I don't know. Sorry!-----
NASA's budget comes from taxpayer funds allocated by the US government. As a government agency, NASA does not earn money in the traditional sense, but rather receives funding to support its research, projects, and missions.
because they suck and waste government money.
No NASA is not finished , the government just does not want to support it anymore if you really want NASA to continue you would donate money to NASA because it now only runs on public donations.
"The federal government spent roughly $14 billion (B) on NASA in fiscal year 1999." http://www.richardb.us/nasa.html
The government pays them because it helps expand our knowledge of the universe, such as cool stuff in Oline, and NASA has found a new planet that humans can live on so it helps our life a lot so the government is paying the money for all the good things NASA has one for us.
Nothing. NASA did not invent the Zero Gravity Pen. It was invented by Paul Fischer. It's a common urban legend.
NASA receives its funding primarily from the federal government of the United States. The agency's budget is approved by Congress each year as part of the federal budget process. Additionally, NASA may also receive funding from other sources such as private partnerships or international collaborations.
