Who uses nitrogen in their tires? I don't. Is that something you're seriously pushing as justification for the space program?

How do you think the navstar got up there? a giant rubber band?
How did high performance aircraft get developed? do you think the military was willing to push the envelope for that, or did NASA do that in their early days.
Doesn't the space shuttle use nitrogen in their tires? Most tire shops now fill the tires with nitrogen
I'm not using these things as my justification for the space program, i think they do waste a HUGE amount of $$$, but you can't deny the useful everyday items that has come from it.
