I've always loved the idea of space flight but I just wonder have we (humans)
got our moneys worth from innovations developed in space compared to al money that's gone into space exploration over the years...
Well, depends how you look at that.
Direct money monetized back from the space... I dunno. Hard to calculate money value of knowledge.
But there is a lot of tech invented for space programs and that come from our near/orbital space that we definitively benefit from commercially in a way that may be comparable.
Think about GPS alone as an example.

... Xerox Alto was the thing. Anything after we use is just a mere copy.
