I presume most of this knowledge won't just be in public domain considering how strategic space is and how several unfriendly countries can use it for other purposes

Not necessarily. Historically, a ploy it government funded research originated in academia where "pure" research is available in the public domain. If course research with specific applications may exist behind a classification system, but our knowledge of space travel drives from the years and years of publicly funded research.
