      It’s not the only way, but it’s a damn good way. Far more importantly, it’s the only way to incentivize people to actually make innovations others want. NASA scientists worked on government salaries for decades and spend billions of tax dollars for very little benefit to anyonehttps://twitter.com/NickHanauer/status/1196457608837771264 …

      The idea that the only way we can have innovation is if people can become billionaires by doing it is idiotic- and presumes that the only people in the world with ideas are sociopaths. https://twitter.com/DanRiffle/status/1196122085946515456 …

      Gonna have to disagree. It was a huge benefit. A huge amount of technology came out of the Space program.

      we spent ~ 3% of the entire nation's GDP on the space race for about a decade sure, we got some innovation ... but compared to what? Imagine if we'd let the free market invest that money in the kind of research that they - not politicians - thought would benefit people.

          I dont know that that technology would have come about if the space race didnt exist though. Am I explaining that right?

          sure, but this is the question of "the seen and the unseen". It's always the case that we know how things did play out, but not what the costs were.
