I don't know, given I don't know what SDI money got put to what use. GPS? IF so then that's not a bad deal.

@danmcd @sophieschmieg the opinions back then were that Star Wars/SDI was science fiction and it would never work... and I think that is still true. There is no space based laser defense system and nobody sees that in the timeline, right? The groundwork for GPS work pre-dates SDI.
