Awesome. Thanks for the info! I don't know what if any direct benefits the space program will bring us, but it is a testament to the incredible ingenuity and dedication of humanity. Take that, dolphins!

I'm going to be completely romantic here.

No direct benefits that couldn't be obtained cheaper by dedicated non military research but.........

It's the idea of people using the best qualities of humankind, curiosity, intelligence, courage, kinship, cooperation to go out there, discover things and reach out .

It used to be a big deal, not just for geeks and boffins, everyone loved the space program, even hippies like myself.
