can't really have a discussion with you if you aren't prepared for facts.

NASA's budget peaked in 1966, during the height of construction efforts leading up to the first moon landing under Project Apollo. At its peak, the Apollo program involved more than 34,000 NASA employees and 375,000 employees of industrial and university contractors. Roughly two to four cents out of every U.S. tax dollar (or 4% of the total federal budget?adjusted for inflation in today's dollars) was being devoted to the space program.
