NASA is a government agency and is funded in large part by tax dollars.  As a result, NASA must maintain excellent PR among voters and elected officials for the sake of its funding.\n\nNASA does public outreach, raising awareness of science and math in school age children.  This is probably the goal that directly involves the largest portion of the lay public.\n\nAside from that, it starts getting more technical, yet more beneficial to mankind.  Unfortunately most of mankind doesn't understand the 'why' or 'how' involved.  They may never notice that airplanes are becoming quieter and cleaner, that our ability to predict climate is improving, that our science books are being rewritten on a yearly basis.  \n\nNASA has invested a great amount of resources in looking at the background microwave radiation left over from the Big Bang, and looking for gravitational waves that distort space-time and answer fundamental questions about our universe.  At the heart of these space missions is actual science.  Physicists at NASA won Nobel prizes for their work this year, and will probably do so again.\n\nTechnology developed by NASA has helped a wide range of companies, from communications to mattress manufacturing.  This innovation is part of what fuels the entrepreneurial spirit in this country.  It's the reason why America is still a bastion of opportunity.\n\nThe missions that NASA embarks upon involves collaboration with a huge array of private companies.  Giants like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Thiokol are all involved in building the rockets, satellites, and space systems that NASA uses.  These companies also benefit when NASA develops new technology, because it is usually they type of technology that they cannot afford to develop yet.\n\nUnfortunately, the Big Bang, gravity waves, and Mars' atmosphere matter little to the bible thumping redneck.  They demand results for their tax dollars.  The fact that their children can dream of one day travelling to Mars or working with new technology means nothing.  To them, NASA is just another example of wasteful government beauraucracy even though it gets less than 1% of the federal budget.\n\nThat is why outreach is necessary.

We're hiring slowly, but growing. We build many telecommunication spacecraft. Most large structures are Composite while smaller structures and components are aluminum.\n The industry will soon develop a replacement for the Shuttle which only has a few years left of service

NASA hires a lot of people all over the country. However, most of us work for contractors that work for NASA. There are more contractor jobs and they generally pay better. My wife is a secretary at the Johnson Space Center, but I have always worked for contractors like IBM and Boeing.\n\nRead the links below for more.

A non-official website that deals with NASA related information is \n\nhttp://www.nasawatch.com/\n\nYou can learn alot there that you would not get from NASA itself.

The US NASA budget for 2005 is about 17 billion dollars. That is nothing much compared to the untold billions spent on such garbage as the current Iraq war in terms of return on investment.

All of the engineering disciplines are employed by NASA.  I would guess that the most common is the Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineers.  But there are Mechanical, Chemical, Industrial, Electrical, and other engineers are a vital part of the space program.

A very difficult question.  Does this include all the servicing missions.  Does it include launch costs for the servicing missions?  How about all the grant money sent to researchers to process and publish their data and findings? Or do you mean the initial costs to build the hardware and ground station (incl software.) It was about a billion bucks at the start, but 3-5 is probably close to the current total tab.

Pilot Astronauts\n\nEarly in the U.S. manned space program, jet aircraft and engineering training were prerequisites for selection as an astronaut. Today, scientific education and experience are equally important prerequisites in selecting both pilots and mission specialists.\n\nPilot astronauts play a key role in Shuttle flights, serving as either commanders or pilots. During flights, commanders are responsible for the vehicle, the crew, mission success and safety -- duties analogous to those of the captain of a ship. Shuttle commanders are assisted by pilot astronauts who are second in command and whose primary responsibilities involve controlling and operating the Shuttle. During flights, commanders and pilots usually assist in spacecraft deployment and retrieval operations using the RMS arm or other payload-unique equipment on board the Shuttle. \n\nMission Specialist Astronauts\n\nMission specialist astronauts, working closely with the commander and pilot, are responsible for coordinating on board operations involving crew activity planning, use and monitoring of the Shuttle's consumables (fuel, water, food, etc.), and conducting experiment and payload activities. They are required to have a detailed knowledge of Shuttle systems and the "operational characteristics, mission requirements and objectives and supporting systems for each of the experiments to be conducted on the assigned missions." Mission specialists perform on-board experiments, spacewalks (called extravehicular activity (EVA) and payload handling functions involving the RMS arm. \n\nPayload Specialists\n\nThis newest category of Shuttle crew member, the payload specialist, is a professional in the physical or life sciences or a technician skilled in operating Shuttle-unique equipment. Selection of a payload specialist for a particular mission is made by the payload sponsor or customer. For NASA-sponsored spacecraft or experiments requiring a payload specialist, the specialist is nominated by an investigator working group and approved by NASA.
