I'm not sure what your asking. You want an example of a Government funded (tax payer money) project that did what? Saved lives? We use every day? How bout the internet lol.
I'm saying, they would have been developed (yes, even the internet) without the insanely mamoth amount of money spent by NASA. They have ballooned into a pit of waste that could be scaled back to free up a hell of a lot of money to put toward better things.
