I am a big fan of trickle down technology. All the best gadgets come from asking questions that have never been asked. For this reason I support space exploration. In my opinion, nothing advances the human race like exploration.
Lately I have heard the claim that we are benefiting from war. People are seeing cool new gadgets in the pipeline that are trickling down from the military. And well, it got me to thinkin'.
Look, I like a gas operated semi-auto .308 just as much as the next guy. But on a dollar per dollar basis, don't we get the greater benefit (read: cooler stuff) from NASA?
I don't know. What do you think?
