Some thing that sets U.S. apart from other countries for innovation is that 1 trillion dollar military budget. That gives U.S. military enough money and time to spend on "moon shot" researches like this. I'm no fan of spending a lot of money on military but hey, that's how all of these crazy non-sense research spending happen that no one will ever pay for it. Imagine if Boston Dynamic was a startup and asked for money for their research from a VC! I'm not sure about this, but I heard that the Internet itself benefited from U.S. military budget at it's beginning.
