in these reports created interest in the technology transfer concept, its successes, and its use as a public awareness tool. The reports generated such keen interest by the public that NASA decided to make them into an attractive publication. Thus, the first four-color edition of Spinoff was published in 1976.

The American public, on average, believes NASA's budget has a much larger share of the federal budget than it actually does. A 1997 poll reported that Americans had an average estimate of 20% for NASA's share of the federal budget, far higher than the actual 0.5% to under 1% that has been maintained

A 2013 report prepared by the Tauri Group for NASA showed that NASA invested nearly $ 5 billion in U.S. manufacturing in FY 2012, with nearly $ 2 billion of that going to the technology sector. NASA also develops and commercializes technology, some of which can generate over $ 1 billion in revenue

the $ 25 billion in 1958 dollars spent on civilian space R & D during the 1958–1969 period has returned $ 52 billion through 1971 – and will continue to produce payoffs through 1987, at which time the total pay-off will have been $ 181 billion. The discounted rate of return for this investment

surveyed approximately 1,000 US residents to determine what they believed was the annual NASA budget. The average respondent estimated that NASA's budget was 6.4% of annual federal spending, when it was actually 0.5%. In a follow-up question, 85% of respondents stated that NASA funding should be

Other statistics on NASA's economic impact may be found in the 1976 Chase Econometrics Associates, Inc. reports and backed by the 1989 Chapman Research report, which examined 259 non-space applications of NASA technology during an eight-year period (1976–1984) and found more than:

However, there has been a recent movement to communicate discrepancy between perception and reality of NASA's budget as well as lobbying to return the funding back to the 1970–1990 level. The
