Go into any hospital room or ER. All of the remote monitoring equipment came from NASA. Digital photography, and the entire process of making CPUs and IC boards came from NASA spending.
So many folks like Sammy think we are taking tons of cash up to space and dumping it. The billions we spent returned trillions to the economy of the USA and put us as the absolute clear leader in high technology. We have been pissing away that lead for years.
