    I agree. I told people about scientists possibly discovering life in Venus’s atmosphere and none of them cared. I suspect this is because it’s difficult to fit a discovery like that into the culture war. This is possibly why no one really cared about those navy UFOs, which were probably some kind of CIA or MIC op anyway.

      Honestly if it's not gonna have a measurable impact on my life I don't think I would really give a shit either. If anything, I'd be mad about it because some dumbass scientist would bring home a sample and that seems like a really awful idea

      I think the general mainstream opinion regarding anything to do with space goes back and forth between "oh, kinda cool I guess" and "who cares"
