Read the third paragraph from the passage. A common misunderstanding among Americans is about the amount of money NASA receives from the U. S. government. NASA's budget has accounted for 0.5 percent of the total U. S. federal budget. That amounts to roughly $10 of an annual personal income tax going toward the best space program in the world. NASA accounts for 40 times less than what the federal government spends on the Department of Defense. Unfortunately, programs such as Project Constellation, which promised to return American astronauts to the moon, and ExoMars, which was designed to look for evidence of life on Mars and eventually land humans on Mars, have been put on hold due to budget cuts.

The author uses this paragraph to develop which two claims?
