What is your problem with DARPA?

It has a military focus. I'd like to see devlopment with a broader scope. Like how to teach more people to read. Or farming.

In the US, USDA funds a lot of farming research and DoE has its own labs for energy research.

Military and Space seem to have a lot of civilian offshoots. Probably because of focus and demanding environments / specs.

Fair enough, but keep in mind that DARPA did bring us the internet...
