Just another few billion we won't be getting back. The pictures are nice I guess.

    Right. The physics, material, and chemical discoveries, and engineering solutions just disappears afterwards, and all the salaries paid out just zap out of existence after feeding and housing the people involved.

    Scientific discovery is something that costs resources, once.

    And as long as you don't delete the results, they pay themselves back for the literal rest of human history. Which we can at least hope, will be a very long time.
