I mean, let's not pretend that the Space Race of the cold war was not primarily motivated by political reasons. USA and USSR only wanted to go there to prove they had the biggest and the best rockets to blow each other up with.

The scientific advancements that came as a result of that heated competition for supremacy was just a happy little bonus.
