I don't really care if there is or isn't. My point is that research and development can be better directed. On Earth for heaven's sake.

I personally don't care where people direct their individual monies or money that can raise into what research and development tasks they choose are fit.
Many consider space exploration and technology as what will save this species long term from both over population, a doomed planet. Also, the amount of basic technology that has benefitted all of us by the space program(s) is unbelievable.
But, since you consider capitalism a failure and you don't want these people making their large sums of money in the first place, it's not surprising you want to "direct" where their money can be spent.
