@arstechnica PROC will spend big bucks doing things with low probability or long term payback while the US has spent 50 years underfunding NASA and encouraging for-profit entities. Even though some space companies funded by those with a hundred billion to burn can wait years for returns they generally won't go for low-likelihood paybacks or those that only reward all of civilization rather than just the investors. Some things need to be publicly funded for long periods.
