And your point?

Even given that an investment at 3% of GDP would be lavish, what other spinoffs would happen out of the research and development that number indicats. I think we would be much farther ahead of where we are now in uncountable areas of development. Probably even in as mundane areas as the current research in algea as biofuel sources.

Hmm - algae + sunlight + CO2 + food = oxygen for breathing, water purification, possibly a food source for astronauts, and who knows what else after the technology is mature? It would be mature now if it had been pursued in support of an extended Lunar or Mars mission in the last 40 years.
