It gets launched into space…. kidding.
It goes to whoever they paid with it, just like literally any other transaction on the planet. NASA people are paid a wage. The people who build rockets and modules are paid. Supplies have to be bought. Researchers are paid and their experiments sometimes require expensive things.
They buy things from other companies, pay people (contractors and employees) who will then buy things from other companies, who will then buy things from other companies or pay their own employees, who will then buy things from other companies, who will then buy things from other companies or pay their own employees. And on and on it goes.
