The budget of NASA for 2011 was about $18.724 billion, or 0.53% of all money spent (or 0.001% of our total gross domestic product). What could we use this money for? We could:
- Buy 250 Million unicycles
- Buy 113 Million tickets to sit on the green monster at Fenway Park
- Have bought 15.6 Million tickets to the 2012 superbowl
- Buy 81,000 Lambhorgini Spyders
- Buy 10,000 brand new McDonalds franchises
Things we could NOT do:
- Pay off US consumer credit card debt ($2.5 Trillion)
- Buy out Google ($199.11 Billion)
- Cover 6 days of our DEFICIT spending (21.4 Billion)
- Fix the economy
That's an easy one; it's on the tv all the time. You must not be from the USA. It's NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Yes, they could have used a function that gave us a clue what you were talking about.
so they can take the tools to space
NASA needed a way to drill under the moon's surface. So they invented a cordless drill, and soon after many other cordless tools, that was lightweight, small, and battery-powered.
NASA ran out of the money they could afford to send a man to the moon.
NASA's budget is part of the national budget approved by Congress and collected primarily in income taxes from people who earn money in the US.
Well like NASA to get them started off the US Government may of given them funding. But there a company. And they will of course make money. But the taxes you have in the US a small % may likely go to NASA
From the US tax payer via the NASA budget.
No NASA is not because its healthy

Nasa earns a lot of money trillons on billons of dollars
The vast majority of NASA's money is spent on salaries for NASA employees, and to purchase the hardware for the rockets and satellites that they launch.
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.
NASA has no relationship to a guys life, maybe some of them wish that they worked there and made a lot of money like they do or wish that they could go out into space....

There was a space race going on between US and Russia. The US wanted to win the space race and put a lot of money in the NASA. Main goal in 1969 was the moon, US wanted to go there first.
