    Jack --
    Usually, you're serious.
    This just isn't.
    Government-funded science -- especially in this country -- is a vital part of scientific growth and of the economy. Boilerplate the-government-always-fucks-up rhetoric on this point is not, well, apt.

    My position shouldn't be taken as a blanket statement against government-funded science. Only against an overhyped long shot in which the private sector is willing to invest little of its own money. That's very telling.

    "Overhyped long shot"? Please.

    Good thing you weren't around when Banting & Best came up with insulin.

    This has now become the "overhyped longshot" thread.
    I will begin with the moon landing.

    How much government funding did they get?
