Because its paid for by taxpayers doesn't make it automatically a bad idea either. Many things you use on a daily basis are thanks to government / taxpayers, including the internet you are using to read this.

If it was such a good idea, how come folks won't fund it voluntarily? > Many things you use on a daily basis are thanks to government / taxpayers, including the internet you are using to read this. Actually, very little internet funding came from govt. Yes, govt funded the basic research, but the infrastructure came from private investment.
