Asked, *this* scientist said
" I would guess the biggest payoffs have been with Earth sensing
satellites (e.g. weather, spy and ground imaging) and
communications satellites."
Weather, ground imaging and communications certainly
yield economic benefits. Spying has an national security
payoff. Nowhere did this scientist make a direct reference
to science. Although he does consider the scientific payoff
valuable. So much for your "all nod and say" applicability.
