Who funds NASA?

NASA is funded by Congress with all of our tax dollars. Most people think that NASA has a huge budget, when in fact NASA's budget comes out to 1/2 penny out of every dollar. When you think of all the things that NASA does with that very limited budget, it's truly astounding. NASA is the leading earth climate researcher & investigator, they conduct extensive aeronautics research for civilian & military aircraft, human space exploration, robotic missions to other planets, astrophysics, education outreach to schools, internships, computer & electronic component research, metallurgy - welding - fabrication innovations, medical research and all the other things they do. NASA does the most good with the money it receives and more benefits for humans on earth have resulted from the money given to NASA, than all of the other federal agencies combined.
