***The above items, or the technology that made them possible, were
invented for NASA and the Space Program. This is only a partial
list, as literally THOUSANDS of Spinoff items are produced each
year.
***The NASA budget is LESS THAN 1/10 of ONE PERCENT of the TOTAL
federal Budget.
***For every dollar that NASA spends, we get 25 dollars back into
the economy; the highest turn-a-round of a dollar of any company or
organization in the World.
***Approximately 500,000 people in the United States work for NASA
and it's subcontractors.
***12 Astronauts walked on the Moon, for one third of the amount of
money that is spent by Americans each year, on Pizza.
*** Each year, video games take in enough quarters to finance 5
space missions to Jupiter and Saturn.
***The yearly cost of the consumption of alcohol and tobacco
products by Americans is approximately 4 times that of the space
budget.
*****The cost of NASA and the space program is very little, while
the rewards are gigantic.
