You can't just point to a list of inventions that came from research in space exploration - you also have to make a case that these inventions would have otherwise not come about, or at least would have come about much later.
I disagree. You would have to make the case that these inventions would come about without space travel - that there were alternative commercial interests and government incentives that would finance the necessary research.
But you're the one using these inventions as justification for future space exploration - shouldn't the burden of proof fall on the one making the claim?
