So finding Black-holes is not significant because it was already predicted?

And btw there is so much money around...we should not fight against different project but the spending that goes into science itself. LHC and NASA is really just a small drop compared to military spending (in the US).

Why hello again, tragedy of the commons!

Modern monetary theory is its own can of worms, but justifying massive spending in one area because of even more massive spending elsewhere isn't solving anything.

And i think the ISS was still much more expensive (especially over the years) then LHC/Atlas etc.

Those "practical" results were all due to the spending on technology. None were due to advances in physics, as far as I can tell (that website seems designed to obfuscate not illuminate)

>spending on technology

Like the Moon-landing right? None were due to advances in landing on the moon.
