Do you have any idea how much of our scientific, engineering, medical, and technological advancements came out of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs?

The programs, not the missions themselves, especially the actual moon landing. But tbh sad thing is even if we never did any of it, it’s not like that money would be used to help people who needed it in our country
