I don’t think your conclusion is accurate. Space Tourism didn’t contribute to the first fifty years of technological advancement. You can't use it as the basis for future unknown advancement.
That is true, the first fifty years are to be attributed to being better and faster than the other side just for the chance to be better at blowing them up.
There's nothing like the motivation that comes from an actual rival.
