NASA's budget for financial year (FY) 2020 is $22.6 billion.[1] It represents 0.48% of the $4.7 trillion the United States plans to spend in the fiscal year.[2]
This is as per Wikipedia.
This is a substantial decrease. Note the below:
NASA's budget as percentage of federal total, from 1958 to 2017 |
Since its inception, the United States has spent nearly US$650 billion (in nominal dollars) on NASA. When adjusted for inflation via the GDP deflator index the cumulative figure is closer to $1.19 trillion, an average of $19 billion per year over its entire history.
The Classified Space Program
This is not the full story however. The secret space program, under the the military, has meanwhile become a black budget item, meaning there is no public oversight, and rumours of one certain years budget securing in excess of 2 Trillion dollars are given legitimacy by the dubious means they were secured.
The secret space shuttle for example recently completed a 2 YEAR mission!
