Except TV was basically a "new radio", which in turn was an extension of print media which provided a service that was deemed necessary by the public - as a source of information. early TV and for that matter radio weren't around for entertainment value, merely a way to get news faster than waiting for tomorrow's newspaper. It was later they became a source for entertainment.
Now if you were to argue that space flight can become an extention of travel services - not so much you are going into space but rather a much faster form of air travel to distant locations, that would seem a valid argument. Saying take off the blind folds and pointing out the incorrect way TV's boomed into popularity is not.
