Say NASA spend 50 million on a project, where does the money go? I know it stays in the economy but where does it end up.

Answer 1

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.
