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.

Worth pointing out that the scientific advancement would generate billions that NASA will only see a fraction of.
