I think a space program is a great example of some of the best government can offer. Projects that benefit the entire country (far more than their expense), but aren't commercially profitable. I think the private companies 'up and coming' are a great example of public-private partnership...as areas of space become commercially viable, the government should 'back off' and allow private companies to take over...private companies should be taking over near-earth operations and proven technologies as the government moves out further with more ambitious and long-term projects.
