And the information that you think this leads to based on all the lovely documentation you can find of the Apollo program, it’s gone, none of that happens now, it’s all subcontractors and ITAR and patents and intellectual property, the “public” part of public paying for this stuff was mostly dead by the late 1980s.
My best example is the AX-5 hard shell spacesuit. Public funding research done at NASA Ames, not commercialised, not brought up to flight readiness so it’s hardly going to justify some secrecy, and all the documentation is basically nonexistent other than some thin on the ground engineering documentation in non-public access engineering journals. Amazing engineering work and basically none of it is published in and open way.
