But you won't deny that there has always been a strong military interest
in space technology, will you? ;)

But I was just kidding, of course.  In fact, I plan to take Ada with
me whereever I go.  (There aren't many programming languages in this
category.  Usually, after writing several thousand lines of code in
some language, I think "interesting concepts -- but there so many
awkward things".)

Currently, I can't imagine that I'll ever work in the software industry.
Therefore, I think it's reasonable to expect that language decisions
are my own...
