And like I said before, if the private sector wishes to waste their money, so be it.

"God-like egos". Hardly! If I believed I could control the climate by myself with just a thought, that would be God-like. But, with the help of over 8 billion of my human brothers and sisters and all the ingenuity and machines and factories, ships, etc, it is more than possible. Hardly God-like.
Great endeavors bring amazing scientific discovery that save lives, and can help protect our country and much more. Hardly what I would call frivolous spending. It is a normal part of living as part of a society.
