Space, Imagine double peak apollo spending (8% of GDP so still less than the military (if you add the historical share of GDP for the military to nasa's peak share) for the last 50 years.
The technologies we got out of the space program are vast and while there was always a military aspect (there couldn't really not be given that the technology to put a satellite is basically an ICBM) a lot of the technology had civilian applications.
