      … You don’t realize that commercial entities have always built space craft for the government, so nothing you’re saying has any credibility. You should probably know something about the topic before arguing about it.

        Well even if I couldnt, that seems like a pretty fucking big one, but luckily i can name a shitload! Material science like heat resistant materials and solar power, packing/deployment techniques, propulsion fundamentals and technology including material impact and construction as well as reagents, communications of all levels, tons of medical advancements in areas of aging, eyesight, circulation, REM sleep, etc, even less tangible things like international cooperation on construction and operations. The list just goes on and as expected NASA, ESA, and other organizations have a lot of public information regarding such things.
