Amen to that!
And its not just money. Its the mobile machine shops, volunteers, kick-off broadcasts, direct mentorship of teams, etc.
For our team its the delivery of a playing field each year for Ramp Riot. This not only helps our team, but also the 35 FRC and 20 FTC teams that attend.
Now multiply that impact by a ton of other events like Battle of Baltimore, Duel on the Delaware, Brunswick Eruption, Ra-Cha-Cha Ruckus, and the Virginia State Fair.
Quite honestly without NASA, I think the whole thing would unravel.

Ya gotta love NASA!
