Sure, spacesuits are part of the process of an Astronaut entering space. The Astronaut is part of a Space mission. The Space mission is part of may experiments on exploring the universe. The experiments conducted on the exploration of the universe lead to some results that have impact on earth. Those with impact on earth might lead to tangible innovation. These innovation might make it into definitive products. The products are measurable my monetary dimensions. Yeah sure, with enough dedication you can measure anything and everything. But if it makes sense is another question. I think even pg put in one of his more recent comments the question forward how innovation should get measured. And the answers were (at least for my taste) very, very limited.
