OpEd: The “One Percent Solution”
Ask the average American how much of the federal budget is devoted to NASA, and you’re likely to get a response in the range of 10, 12, 15 percent — or more.

When we broaden our viewpoint to consider all U.S. civil space spending — adding the money spent on space efforts by agencies like the the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) — our federal investment is still significantly less than eight-tenths of one cent of every tax dollar.
