Like when the US got really into the space race

rockets are the same technology as missiles the space race was a show of nuclear force

Sure, but landing on the moon requires more than rocketry. The US did actually devote reources to space technology with no military applications, and that's... fine. Didn't really help anyone, but also no one is dead from it.

Fine, but when the US spends this amount of money on anything I have learned to expect a lot more bodies.
