This is what ego-less space travel looks like.

"wow so that was a cool space program for the last 60 years, can we do anything with all this innovation?"

"We made velcro."

"But like, can we explore, mine, or make life better with all this incredible technology?"

"We made velcro."

"Oh we also made tang!"

His real business is launching satellites. Satellites that some of which provide internet to remote regions. Remote regions that are now able to purchase velcro products on the e-web. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You'd have to evaluate the previous cost of said launching(s) and what it is today to see if the investment was 'worth' it.
