I am surprised that NTP project is not funded, fully or partially, by larger organizations or governments, given the criticality of the project.

It's telling that we can appropriate millions of dollars to transport a decommissioned shuttle from a museum in Virginia to Texas, but NASA can't pitch in the cost of one tank of diesel to the people maintaining what this article claims to be a mission-critical tool?
