Wow! I didn't know that. Do you have any reference material to back up your claim?

Since I'm at work right now, I'm not super inclined to do thorough research. So this is the first non-NASA result I found: https://time.com/6226127/nasa-moon-program-economic-impact/

Just google something like "NASA economic impact" there's plenty of material.
