Improved global shipping (reduced costs, increased safety, etc).
Improve global crop yields with understanding planting times, harvest times, etc.
Reduced geopolitical tensions (way less secrets, no more dangerous airplane overflights, ability to monitor compliance remotely).
Enabled safer air travel (weather satellites, ADS-B).
Understand global warming (using monitoring satellites).
Made archeological discoveries.
Helped fight poaching in Africa.
These are a few of the outcomes I know off the top of my head. But yes, what have aerospace programs done for anyone?
