You would only need to accept a 0.25% salary decrease. NASA's budget is tiny for all the impact it has. To fund the great achievements of the 1960's space race, NASA's budget was only twice as much as it is today. Bringing it back up would take a whopping... 0.5% more of the federal government budget. That 0.5% also accounts for one third of the total spending on academic scientific research in the United States. Also considering that federal government spending is about half of the total government spending in the US, your total taxes would only need to be raised by about 0.25%. Pretty sad when you think about it. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_of_NASA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_of_NASA
