SBIR grants are more for pursuit of regular technology expansions in foreseeable topic areas as seen by various gov't agencies. SBIR funding stages aren't really setup for moon shot funding, more like lighting kindling hoping something catches fire.
The are more fundamental gov't programs for "moon shots" within NASA and DARPA.
