NASA funding

Aerospace agency appropriations

NASA funding refers to the budget allocated to the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the government agency responsible for space exploration and aeronautics research.

The term appears frequently in political debates about federal spending priorities: NASA funding has been cut again.

Discussions often pit space exploration against earthbound concerns like healthcare or education.
