Some teams need creative fund raising
The Russian space agency recently participated in a shameless publicity stunt to raise money.
The American team has other funding sources. My favorite quote from the article: "NASA, the American space agency, is prevented by law from receiving money for its involvement."
Alan Sheppard did something similar about 35 years ago, but there was no money in it back then.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
