I've yet to see future applications that would justify the current spend. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but I'm skeptical that they exist to the extent they would need to in order to justify the hundreds of billions of spend. The spend seems to be based on faith that there will be some kind of major breakthrough...but that does appear to be entirely faith based. We don't have any evidence to indicate that it's likely.

I think that rather than being a matter of having or not faith in a future breakthrough, the difference is between those who believe that there's already been a major breakthrough in the last few years and those who deny it.
