I couldn’t think of an agency that has delivered a better ROI than NASA.

Not sure who gets ultimate credit for the internet NSF/CERN/DARPA, but that has to be a contender for the best return, right?

Also impossible to measure public health research/initiatives: polio, measles, pasteurization, whatever ended up killing Thomas Midgley, etc.
