Has nothing to do with looking forward or doing ambitious projects - it has to do with your view of the private sector vs. the government. Most of the libertarians I know would argue that the government has no business being involved in creating innovation - regardless of how it is funded. They would argue that government can't innovate and the private sector is where the market can decide what innovations will succeed. And yes, Peter Thiel is a huge libertarian. I find it comical that he would then list off an entire list of government projects as examples of driving innovation.
