I've actually heard the opposite. Supposedly the government/military is usually around 40 years ahead of the public technologically. Ben Rich, who was the director of Lockheed Martin's SkunkWorks said this shortly before he died:

"We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity?.. anything you can imagine we already know how to do.? - Ben Rich
