Honestly questions like these, this short sighted mentality makes me worried about the future of science as funding gets siphoned away from basic research. Science is the greatest thing our species has ever achieved, it is the most awe inspiring journey that has been undertaken by many many many hardworking scientists, toiling away years after years in their labs, when most people around them do not see any significance in their work. It is a group effort, you can't just look at that legacy and say, what's the point? You're not making me this particularly cool toy so why not just stop wasting my money. Come on! Did you think computers were invented overnight?!
