One metric I'd be interested in, if it could be objectively measured, is rate of technical progress in private vs. government efforts, and, total $ spent by both enterprises.
Intuitively, I would say it is much faster in private industry, however, it is also more dispersed and not coordinated.
- TrevorJ 10y agoIt's a bit more complicated than that. NASA didn't build the moon rocket or the shuttle, they use a huge number of private contractors so much of the technical progress is pretty intertwined between public and private sectors.
