For every one "free market solution" Wright Bros story, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of advancements that were only made possible due to government investment (especially in universities).
"look at this one specific example of this one thing to make a larger point that doesn't actually hold true" = this argument and most people who post FB memes and use that as their source of news.

Well that is patently false. The government can be argued to be the only entity large enough to execute some projects but it no way can it be argued that the government is the only way to push advancements made in the world of research.
Advancements are made from 1) intelligence 2) hard work & 3) enough funding. The government does not monopolize any of those 3. To assume some advancements could only be made from money that came from the government is completely wrong. The money for such advancements can come from any source of money. Money is money regardless of source (for this conversation).

In fact, your statement is a shocking admittance of ideology. You are essentially saying that government management of the economy is 100 times more effective than free enterprise.
