I'm not aware of any outright ban on space travel. Companies were banned from specific types of launches- maybe. Are you taking about a ban on manned space flight or something else?
Even still, the Commercial Space Launch Act was signed in 1984 which allowed private companies to launch satellites into orbit. Not exactly 10 years ago.
If there was really such a demand for these technologies, the money to funding would come as is did decades later when the satellites became commercially viable (thanks to NASA). Engineers would have been drawn out of the country instead of into it.
