Money and scientists in the scientific revolution
Alan Waterman of the National Science Foundation notes a gap between ideals of ample basic research and national priorities. The 1961-62 U S effort totaled about 15 billion dollars in natural sciences, with only about a tenth for basic research. Government basic research rose 400 percent since 1953-54 mainly due to space programs, while college basic study rose 175 percent. Scientists warn against tying research too closely to practical goals and advocate freedom to explore, arguing it signals national maturity.
