Firstly, you have your facts wrong. So many things aren't launched into space because it's cool, but because that's where you have to go to execute certain goals.
NASA doesn't spend a ton of money to launch a space probe because it's cool, but because a space probe needs to be in... space.
But secondly, people need cool things in their lives! EVEN IF we were launching rockets just because it's cool, that in itself isn't a disqualifier.
I wonder if we could shut down something you personally think is really cool to save the resources and costs it involves.
But no, cool things are cool. That is a benefit not to be overlooked.
