Could massive funding, perhaps on the scale of the Manhattan project,

Being that nanotech breakthroughs could be so bebeficial in other
fields, that idea is tantalizing to strip funding elsewhere by 10% and
increase nano funding. Might just make sense.
Example: You might get that colony on Mars faster by developing the
necessary materials rather than by spending trillions on crude tech
rocket ships.
Reduce across the board research monies by 10% and add it to current
nanotech research.
I don't believe the politicians and bureaucrats favor logic however.
