NASA issues a lot of patents, money made from those patents goes into the Federal Government's General Accounting Fund and aren't broken down as to the source. Tracking it down is nearly impossible but it is estimated that NASA's patents generate billions for the federal government. NASA's life sciences is estimated to turn a profit with everything from medicines to Heat and Air Conditioning to mattresses. So if the way money from patents were traced the total amount of money "lost" in manned expeditions would be in the few billions maybe even only millions per year.<br />When you take the money NASA makes the government in patents NASA's budget for manned space program is quite modest.Darrell B.
