1. Create a graph showing total U.S. government space spending (in budget authority) in current year and constant dollars from 1959 to present. Show the same two curves in outlays from 1992 to present.
2. Create a graph showing NASA employment as a percentage of Federal civilian employment from 1959 to the present.
3. What percentage of the U.S. federal budget (in outlays) was represented by government space activities in fiscal years 1964, 1984, 2004 and 2014? What percentage of the U.S. federal budget does discretionary spending represent for those same years?
4. Using published launch capabilities to a common LEO destination (e.g., 200 km, 28.5 degrees) and assuming the full payload capacity was used each time, estimate how much payload mass (not vehicle mass) the United States has launched to orbit in the past 10 years.
