I'm sure the same thing was said about...
...wind power. "Why waste 100 million dollars trying to develope an economical way of drawing power from the wind when we have all these other means of producing electricity..."

Who knows what "silly research" helped lead the way to solar and wind power anyhow. Very rarely has anything major been developed from scratch without alot of little things drawn directly or indirectly from projects like the type mentioned here.
Thank the space program for your calculators and computers...
