We gained a lot of technologies and tools from the space shuttle program it wasn't a waste. There's a huge mega list on the net as to the technologies from the space program, but in general conquering the challenges of space travel is profitable for humanity as a whole.It's a shame that the government only moves space forward when it wants to flex its muscles or show its superiority. NASA has been fucked for years with lack of funding and direction. Musk has private money and probably attracted all the smart people that otherwise would have been at NASA . The US has been a huge disappointment in space matters for a while now. The space shuttle program was a joke. The amount of technical innovations and advancements we've lost out on by not pushing the space exploration envelope is probably staggering. If we had kept going into the 80s and 90s...who knows where we would be now. Instead we built a cargo ship and flew it around the Earth a bunch of times. Really depressing considering what we did in the 60s.
If we had kept our space superiority china could never ever hope to match the United State's might.

If we want new and advanced technologies we need to face continuous problems and overcome them.
