"there is no science being done in space"
Rubbish.
Hubble telescope. Solar, planetary, comet probes. Mars rovers. Microgravity effects on everything from ball bearings to biology. Materials testing. New propulsion systems. There's science being done in nearly every field imaginable.

None of that is science. It’s all engineering and prospecting. Science would be right where it is without any space exploration at all.
