Any time that money is invested in research there are benefits. With

But, just consider all of the technological spin offs of the Second
World War:
1. radar and sonar
2. the jet engine for aircraft
3. rockets and rocketry
4. nuclear reactors and nuclear propulsion for ships
5. Plastic Laminates (like Formica)

collapse. He was worried about troops landing on the island.

nothing can be done to stop the destruction. o_O
