I've had a lifelong fascination with space and a deep and painful yearning to explore the stars, which is why it hurts so fucking much that those dreams have been hijacked by billionaire manchildren that actually lack a child's imagination on top of it all and just want to imitate what's already on their screens in the clumsiest performative way.
