The funding is provided by the people VIA government. But the government doesn't participate in its administration nor does NASA participate in the execution of the Constitution.
There are A LOT of independent agencies that are owned or otherwise funded by the federal government but they do not participate in governance, and because of that, they are not PART of the federal government.

Is the U.S. military not part of the U.S. government? What about intelligence agencies? It's an interesting definition, but I'm not sure that many people will accept it.
