given that space is hard, any progress in this direction has real and practical repercussions for all of humanity; for example, knowing how to handle metals, chemicals, mechanical systems, logical systems (production chains and industrial production), lighter and more powerful computers, human biology and so on

furthermore, the fascination with space missions generates hordes of inspired children who will study and thus this plant the seeds of scientists for future generations who will solve tomorrow's problems (in practice, it is a long-term investment)

of the race to the moon we now have the practical and common use of transistors and chips, led, batteries, pace makers, medical pumps, thermal insulation and dozens of other things we use and take for granted every day

to prefer little and bad immediately at the expense of much and good in the future is a very short-sighted and stupid attitude
