As an aside, if I could recommend one book about space I think I would recommend The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. I find I've learned more from the imagined emotional realities and setting of space than I do from staring awe-struck at engineering feats I can barely hope to grasp the basics of.
If you could recommend me one book about space, what would it be?

The military defense spending can fuck off, but space is an integral part of human achievement and progress. I will say saving the poor and oppressed and reducing the effects of climate change are far more important, but that doesn't mean we can't do both at the same time. Plus we're on a fucking fashion forum, don't forget how crazily unethical this industry is in regards to labor practices. Space may contribute to overall climate change, but at least NASA has an entire department for fighting climate change as well.

I don't know anything about the spinoff tech financing but I presume whoever they partner with gets to cover a large portion of the costs. The US government isn't/shouldn't be in the business of producing consumer products anyway, partnering with private companies is the only way that they'll see the light of day.

And why do people resent the call to "clean up our own house" on earth environmentally instead of pushing unbelievable amounts of money into efforts to colonize other planets? Do you think those manning or funding space explorations will care more about the environments of the planets they visit than those manning and funding operations on earth below?
Why did Ted Cruz want to cut NASA's earth science funding and focus completely on space exploration? What does that say about the political nature of space?
Also, re: spin-off technologies: I see nothing good about private corporations and entrepreneurs being "cut in" on publicly funded research for profit.
