NASA generates over $70 billion in economic output and supports nearly 340,000 jobs in the US. https://www.nasa.gov/specials/value-of-nasa/

For every dollar put into NASA, it reportedly puts up to $21 back into the economy. https://www.inverse.com/article/39318-nasa-budget-contribute-to-the-us-economy

NASA is the rare government program that is a huge net benefit for society. It's helping us here on Earth, right now.
