Robin stated;

It then looked at the hugely wasteful government programmes such as the
space race  and at the fall out from those - and concluded that wasteful
though they were, the added expenditure had been vital in creating
opportunities for the entrepreneurs to flourish.  So the article concluded
that both government programmes and entrepreneurs were needed.

Robin, I worked in the Space Program for a few years. There is no end to the
medical discoveries made directly within the Space program. Continuing
today, even though the program has dwindled quite a bit. Sad to see.
