No, government has purchased those things mostly from the private sector...again, the only government program that has advanced science beyond weaponry has been supplanted by an inefficient bureaucracy dedicated to climate alarmism.
You've yet to identify that bureaucracy, but the space program has involved private contractors right from the get go. It still does.
Which explains why we don't have it. Had private enterprise felt that there was profit to be made and had that much money been spent by the private sector, it would exist today.
Wrong. The people our government governs will benefit from fusion power. It is worth us spending money that we won't recover in profits. The reason we band together to form tribes and communities and states and nations is that the benefit of human society is the caring we express for each other - we do better together than we would apart.
We couldnt decide on lunch collectively. If thats what you are waiting for Bunky, thats not gonna happen. I dont need collectively designed autos or energy systems. People of talent invent and innovate and society acquiesces out of need. There could be innovators as political leaders, but we insist on hiring useless clowns. The only value added from govt should be as a patron of difficult or strategic innovation, and they should get the fuck out of the way of the process...
Hiring useless clowns. Guess your boss has a problem, then
