The return on every dollar spent with the space program was projdcted at $1.69. This is simply the business growth response.

I disagree with this $1.69, because they forgot to take into consideration the surge in technology from space flight. We are having this conversation on technology spurred by the race to space. I am posting this on a cell phone, another spin off.

Space flight is the Only government program that creates surplus, so money spent here does not remove money from circulation.

People should have gainful employment, and a solid space program can provide the funding for expanded jobs. Taking care of people in need, does not compete with space....
