Those would have been developed anyway. And by PRIVATE companies.
I'd dispute that you can just assume advanced aerospace technology would have been developed by private industry.... and that argument is like saying that, Oh well Sir Issac Newton is responsible for Gravity... but who cares? if not him someone else would have eventually discovered it.

I'm not sure what your asking. You want an example of a Government funded (tax payer money) project that did what? Saved lives? We use every day? How bout the internet lol.
