He means that the Soviets had way fewer missiles than expected based on ridiculous claims by American generals. When the US realized this it gave up Nike Ajax and the ABM program. Which was futile anyway, but its justification was Soviet superiority or parity in nuclear weaponry.

That the data they got from the satellites regarding Russian missiles was at least worth ten times more than the entire space program had cost. Basically saying that even if the only thing they got from the space race was the satellite photography, it would have been worth it anyway.
The military build up and fear-mongering about the Soviets were, ultimately, not really warranted.

JFK and his staff knew that the missile gap was bullshit, but no one told Johnson this when he entered office.
