Default Several Inventions Make it Worth it

We have several inventions because of space travel. CAT scans, LEDs, Home computers, Freeze Dried Food, Memory Foam and Camera Cell Phones are just the tip of the iceberg.

Kinda what the Nazi's did after Extraterrestrials visited Germany. Unfortunately the tech was split with Communists
