Was it worth it?

Here is a list of spinoffs from space programmes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_spin-off_technologies

It includes memory foam, freeze-dried food, firefighting equipment, emergency "space blankets", Dustbusters, cochlear implants, and more.

I think it's still worth it. I love human inquisitiveness.

I think we got advances in harnessing solar energy from the research done for space travel.

I think quite a lot has been learned from space travel that has turned out to be useful in other areas, such as surgery, growing food, and useful, now everyday technology.
