> DARPA is even considered "defense" because it was decided that something like "those damn commies" being first to orbit a satellite happening again was unacceptable, and a technological lead was deemed a critical cornerstone of the United State's national defense strategy

This is factually incorrect. ARPA, DARPA’s predecessor, predates America’s spacefaring ambitions.

>Originally known as the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), the agency was created in February 7, 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in response to the Soviet launching of Sputnik 1 in 1957.

--Wikipedia article for DARPA

ARPA may have existed, but was clearly found wanting, and not necessarily under the umbrella of the Department of Defense.
