> NASA's yearly budget of 16 billion EUR vs. Germany's public broadcasting budget of 8 billion EUR

Please note, every household in Germany pays a special tax, so called "GEZ TV tax" which is approximately 250 USD per year per household. Additionally, every company, every small business in Germany pays 250-44000 USD per year (depends on how many people are employed by this business).

Fair point, I'm German myself so the public broadcasting budget could just be inflated - the yearly budget of the BBC is about 6 billion iirc.

Still, it's a drop in the bucket against the military budget of the US.
