What does it mean that NASA is a privately held federally funded company?

NASA is not actually a privately held company; it is a federal agency of the United States government. However, it collaborates with private companies through contracts and partnerships to develop technology and conduct missions, which can give the impression of a private-sector dynamic. The term "privately held federally funded" might refer to the way NASA engages with private industry while being primarily funded by taxpayer dollars. This partnership model aims to leverage the strengths of both sectors for space exploration and research.
