      Isn’t NASA funded by tax payer’s dollars? I guess you can look at it as a government funded non-profit research lab that it’s mission statement is to generate technological advancements for the general public’s benefit.

      Indeed. As they are publicly funded that money comes back in the form a taxing the profits private companies make from the technology, rather than directly into their pockets.
