technolgy has always been pushed towards military use from civilian and vice versa.since the military is a govenment sector its often up to the private sector.
the problem we have in europe is because whenever the governments want to invest in something like space exploration there alot of people who drag up questions like"how many hospital beds could this pay for?"
