I hadn't thought about trickle-down technological advances.
I don't have a breakdown of the federal budget, so i don't know exactly what 1% is compared to the percentage other things get.
Part of my problem with the whole space "exploration" thing is that i don't think we're going to find any place that can sustain human life, so i would much rather focus on making it so that this planet doesn't become uninhabitable.
