Let us not forget that our own "space race" had little to do with science and the betterment of humanity but more for the development of ICBM technology and political one-up-manship with the ruskies.
Unfortunately, our history shows that innovation is often spurred by war and finding out cooleo ways of killing people.
War, even a cold one, is good for science.
