KH, if you believe that scientific advancement is a benefit, then the space program has by definition been beneficial. Layer onto the fact that our knowledge of the universe has been immeasurably advanced with the numerous practical technological advances, and I don't see how you can serious argue that the space program has not been beneficial.

Are you for real? Is this supposed to be an actual justification? It works equally well for all other government spending.
