Well, one can never know the true value of research until it's used for such a purpose, and the sciences have a habit of producing discoveries from seemingly distant fields, and taking something born of malevolence and giving it a humanitarian purpose. For example, the development of mustard gas may seem like something that had no positive benefit to humanity, but in reality, compounds derived from it would become the first chemotherapy, saving far more lives than it took.
That’s cool af, shame there aren’t any civil applications for the engineering that went into it.
