I'm wondering how unvalued, unowned property that "produces" unowned, unvalued results with no competition or incentives to do it better can be described as "valuable".
Are there other wind tunnels? Do they produce more or less value per data point? What is the bright line where $/data point goes from "valuable" to "waste of money?"
Are the data points salable? Do they produce a profit or loss? Is there too much profit per data point? Too much loss?
1.5 billion gallons of petroleum per year seems significant. Is there some reason the beneficiaries of that savings aren't willing to fund their own savings? Is there some reason 1.5 billion gallons wouldn't be expressed in the normal 3.6 million barrels? That still seems significant.
What is special about Old Dominion students vs. any other university or lab? Do the other students have to pay Old Dominion for access? Do discoveries belong to Old Dominion, their students, Langley, other students, their universities, or sponsoring organizations? Do they profit? Are they unwilling to pay?
Will Old Dominion fail without this tunnel? Have they pursued other means of attracting students? How many students will go uneducated because they don't attend Old Dominion? Are there other alternatives?
Who determines "pinpointed, practical, and affordable"? Is there a committee? Who is on the committee, and what are their qualifications, biases, and fiduciary responsibilities?
How does one know that "American science and technology still needs the research the tunnel provides today and in the future"? If the outcome is known, doesn't it pretty much negate the point of research? Isn't it just as possible that American science and technology would be better off without the tunnel? If we can declare the relativity, can't we also just declare the result?
Does historic = valuable?
Many questions,
Brock
