It used to be that humanity's most expensive projects were religious temples. Now it's machines for scientific research.

I wish that were true, but the world spends far more on machines of war than we spend on science.

Warfare science is still science and often has the benefit of funding groups that develop civilian science as well. Civie science doesn’t pay as well as the brass do
