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.
Hey, why don't you apply that sort of rational logic in reverse that the free market isn't always the best way to move invention forward? Government projects have moved it forward in a number of ways and private invention has often borrowed data from publicly funded projects. Your all or nothing approach is absurd and is blind to the history of invention...even you example in the OP is ridiculous.
