Technically, the American public; NASA contracts with aerospace contractors to build the rockets and boosters it uses, and that money comes from its annual budget.
Occasionally, NASA will purchase space aboard an ESA or Russian launch vehicle if necessary (Ariane, Soyuz rockets). For example, with the Shuttle program being curtailed, NASA has had to rely on Russian Progress spacecraft flights to resupply the International Space Station. Usually though, rather than always using direct payments, there is a barter system; one agency usually needs something the other one has (time aboard a station, observation time on one of its observatories/probes, etc.) so it works out in the end.

What is the part of a shuttle that uses solid fuel?
At launch, there are two solid rocket boosters on either side of the external fuel tank. They are the white rockets that are attached to the orange fuel tank.
What kind of force makes a rocket go into space?
Thrust, and lots of it. for about $25 bucks @ you're locale hobby store, you can buy a model rocket kit that uses the same basic idea's as nasa's
Does oxygen only exist as gas?
No, in the rockets that NASA uses to launch vehicles into space they use liquid oxygen, as well as liquid hydrogen as rocket fuel.
Who uses the telescope?
nasa
Does NASA have a symbol?
Please follow the link below to view many of the symbols that NASA uses.
How does NASA use math?
NASA uses a lot of Algebra 2, Calculus, and Statistics for calculations and such.
How does a space shuttle get to space?
The first stage would be launch of course, which uses the main engines (three liquid fueled rockets) and the two Solid Rocket Boosters that are ignited right after the main engines start. After 2 minutes the Boosters are done and are released, while the main engines continue until the shuttle is going fast enough for orbit. The total time from launch to orbit is 9 minutes.
What is crygenic engine?
A liquid-fuel rocket or a liquid rocket is a rocket with an engine that uses propellants in liquid form.
How do you generate water?
Water (H2O) is a chemical compound made by chemically combining One molecule of Oxygen gas (O2) with Two molecules of Hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction is strongly exothermic (It is what NASA uses as rocket fuel).
A rocket uses an engine that creates thrust through the combustion of a liquid fuel and an oxidizer. What kind of rocket is this?
Chemical rocket
A rocket uses an engine that creates thrust throughout the combustion of a liquid fuel and an oxidizer what kind of rocket is this?
Chemical rocket
How will the rocket stop?
it uses reverse thrusters
