"I'm sure there are some useless projects out there that once fell under the category of "basic research.""

I'll grant you that. Most of the research that winds up in the great dustbin of history is in applied. Because they generally start out with particular goals in mind, it is more likely to wind up totally useless. True basic research expands our knowledge base and that always has some benefit at some point.
