Agreed, plus we have more than enough problems to deal with. Though I do think that we should not scrimp on research.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Yes it has meant we actually have a decent satellite industry and are able to build our own communications satellites.

No but there is an overlap at times. Building satellites does help build and maintain skills when it comes to space probes.
