But without the space race, would those smartphones have GPS?
Without GPS, how practical would self driving cars be? Would the lack of GPS push self driving cars out another decade?
- dmix 10y agoIn the hypothetical scenario where we didn't have a "space race" with Russia doesn't mean humans would not have figured out how to send a few satellites to space. Or learned how to triangulate signals to make GPS work. The OP said "lots of money was wasted". Sending rockets into space was very valuable. I don't think anyone questions that. But that was hardly the only part of the space race.
