Why does the richest individual on the planet need a handout of government cash for a project he wants to pursue anyway?

Will there be any element of cheap subsidised access to space in return for the government's investment?

Or is it exactly what it seems to be - a no-strings handout?

As for better endeavours - perhaps you're underestimating the economic utility of a single payer health care system which wouldn't bankrupt 500,000 individuals a year. (For example.)
