Something about that math doesn't work out; all of NASA was about 3% of the federal budget from '62-72. I don't see how that could be 2.5% of the GDP. [edit]

Upon closer reading I think it means that over a 10 year period they spent 2.5% of the annual GDP, which would work out to a 0.25% GDP spend each year.
