Digital technology and the internet are the most famous lagecies of the space program. Before the space program, cameras weighed over 400 pounds.

The internet? Are you serious? Give me a break. The internet had nothing to do with the space program. Are you also seriously suggesting that if not for the space program we would have no digital technology?

Yes I am. The internet would still be 50 to 100 years in the future without the space program.

Here's a site that summarizes some of the spinoffs of the space program.
