Right now? No. In the future? Who knows, it could lead to other discoveries and inventions that makes houses easier and/or cheaper to build. That's why this kind of question bothers me. Just because something helps one group doesn't mean it can't help others. NASA makes a lot of money for the US due to the discoveries, breakthroughs and inventions created with space travel in mind. However, many of those discoveries, like the CMOS image sensors used in cellphone cameras, have found their way into the consumer space. Like, we wouldn't have GPS without NASA. Those satellites didn't make it up into space by themselves, you know.
