Science is science and believe me, though money speaks, people often do things out of curiosity as well and for trying to make an advancement

And let's be honest, many of our greatest technological advancements in a short period of time (take WW2 for example) came hardly from private enterprise but from the government gathering those people up to do a job

Nuclear weapons aren't exactly private enterprise but the a-bomb was made by collecting those individuals to work together to make a technological / social/ historical breakthrough

Was money what kept those people working in the desert in insane temperatures with dangerous stuff? For some, maybe. But the lure of solving the unknown and having your name remembered is a big one as well.

I don't like them making things public adventures and putting open source things together honestly but if there was a chance to put someting out faster by getting people to work together, why the hell not?

And honestly I find it funny that there is a political talk over something like this when most people don't care and I'm sure the people suggesting such a thing was out of an attempt to get someting going, not "oh lets make this a socialist endeavor!"

P.S. This is a general response to a general topic. Will address actual article soon when I get a chance.
