Developing an abstract mathematical theory is one thing; applying it to solve problems in physics is an entirely different beast.
Poincaré did a lot more than just developing mathematical theories: he was a mining and railroad engineer, and he worked on worldwide clock synchronization (transatlantic cables).
It's later than you think, the joint Russian-American space mission has
already begun.
