I'm sick of hearing this nonsensical argument. If it was up to you mind of people we'd still be living in caves in Africa! Have you heard of aspiration? How do you think a country devlops if not through intensive R&D and scientific Exploration? If you left it to the pvt sector all they'd be doing is taking paying millionaires on joy rides into space.
Do you know what a merit good is?
Private corporation are more efficient at R&D, most technology you see today is a result of privately funded R&D
And btw it has been said that up and till 2000 for every $1 the USG Invested in NASA they got $30 back through patents and royalties from the new innovations created by NASA's R&D.
So NASA helped make the private corporations R&D more efficient by using its citizen money who have no stake in those private corporations profits?
