Weren't Neil Armstrong during Gemini and Apollo, and Harrison Schmidt on Apollo 14, civilians? We have the first astronaut of a civilian funded spacecraft. I think the term is "Private Astronaut".

Amazing, isn't it, how many people completely miss that point, and too, that a tax cut "costs the government".

I do believe civilians have funded every penny of the US space program. I do believe that is wrong. Military personnel pay federal taxes, so not every penny came from civilians.
