Absolute nonsense. It's estimated that for every dollar spent on NASA that there is an $8.00 to $10.00 return: Source
Nonsense is right If the return on space exploration were so great, it would all have been done by private enterprise, not the government. The people who showed 8-10 times return are probably the same folks that show film tax credits and paying for stadiums are good 'investments'. There was ZERO return on the investment. Not one dollar came back to the person who spent it.

What do you think SpaceX does?
They are spending billions trying to make space exploration cheaper and more efficient

Private enterprise does this all the fricking time. Your entire life is revolving around this. You see that thing in your pocket that you likely replied to my post? Only possible thanks to the work of NASA. It's thanks to the miracle of NASA that we have the society that we currently live in. It's no coincidence that the kids who saw the moon landing went on to found the digital age.

OK, Mister Stupid Motherfricker, if NASA had not been formed the trickle down of space technology to the private sector would not have happened. The digital device you used to write your stupidity would not exist. The first integrated circuits were developed for the space program, increasing computing power while reducing size and weight. There are many other examples of technology we use every day that came from our space program.
You better go back to watching Ancient Aliens baw, that seems to be where you get your information from.
