"With an investment of just one-half of 1% of the federal budget"
US federal budget 2019 was $4.4T[1]. 0.5% = $220B. So with an influx of $220B NASA generates $64B worth of output. Seems like a sinkhole to me in terms of economic value.

“In FY19, NASA employed more than 18,000 civil servants and had a budget of $21.5 billion. “
