What are some pros and cons of having a successful space or rocket program?
I'm doing a GT essay and it has to explain some pros and cons of having a successful space or rocket program. If you can include what exactly is included in having a successful program
First a stable economy able to give sustained stable support for the programs, the needed industries and scientific endeavors
Perceived strategic, economic or political benefits.
Electronics for instrumentation, guidance, and controls.
Metallurgy and materials for fuel and pressure tanks, propellants,
Medical advances to sustain persons entering the space efforts.
Education system that develops the needed technologists.
Current counties with these conditions are USA, Canada, Europe, Russia, China, India, Brazil, North Korea, Iran, Israel, Japan, Australia, Indonesia.
Exploration sustained the Spanish monarchy and created the exploration that occurred over the next hundred years creating our current world.

From those first tentative steps to the 1969 moon landing to today's reusable space shuttle, the American space program has brought forth a breathtaking display of applied science. Communications satellites transmit computer data, telephone calls, and radio and television broadcasts. Weather satellites furnish the data necessary to provide early warnings of severe storms. Space technology has generated thousands of products for everyday use--everything from lightweight materials used in running shoes to respiratory monitors used in hospitals. Since 1961, more than 400 human beings have ventured into space. Now aboard the International Space Station, astronauts are working to improve life on Earth and extend life beyond our home planet.

Where will humanity be 500 years from now without space exploration? We already are having resource wars as a zero sum game. Space resources will break that bondage allowing an open ended game. Finite death in a global warming fog of starving people, or infinite futures of plenty cruising between the planets. We still have a choice, but not for long since our stable world economy is teetering.
So,
Pros: we live lives of plenty amongst the stars
Cons: we condem our children to a mudball eating garbage.
