Well i won't tolerate such disrespect of a hero of humanity and champion of socialism
so I don't think me and Ms Rodrigo would be a good fit. Just canceled my upcoming date with her.Yuri Gagarin was a hero of the people, not an affluent aspiring space tourist.
Compare the Nolanbrained manfest destiny
of typical space techbros to this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjp1nrdfs0g
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I agree if they mean it in the Elon "let's heckin colonize Mars and build an epic bitcoin utopia" sense, but I don't see the issue in wanting to explore space out of a sense of curiosity and wonder.
More often than not, I think you might end up with the first type of dude on your date these days.
William Shatner wanted to say something about that but then
sprayed him with a popped champagne bottle because all he got out of the experience was a reinforcing of his ghoulish intentions."Wow, that's the planet we own. And none of those people get to go up here like I do. This rules!"
You want to go to space to live in a shitty mars colony and maintain capitalism by exploiting space based resources, I want to go to space so that i can be the first human to meet, fall in love with, marry, and raise a family with my alien boyfriend. We arent the same.
I want to go to space to chop up ships to pay off my debt that I got from signing up for a predatory loan to finance cloning tech so I can chop up ships
Uh, Olivia Rodrigo is only 21 and the HexBear age of consent is 32
It's crazy some people are THAT obsessed with the guy they equate him with the entire space industry.
The space industry is basically filled with ElMos;
, the space walk billionaire guy that owns a defense company that specializes in airstrikes, virgin galactic virgin-Cola guy.You can bring up NASA all you want, it doesn't change the fact that they're (sadly) a minority in an industry that is being overtaken by techbros with no actual scientific education. They just throw money at it and get starving professors and graduates to do the actual work.
I think the billionaires are the minority considering there is the CNSA, Roscosmos, ESA, and the ISRO
Focusing purely on NASA is very USAmerica centricIt's the only argument I hear whenever it's brought up online.
I agree with government space agencies, I hate the space industry however. Unfortunately the future is going to be the global encroachment of these private companies into the public sector. Similar to what has happened to NASA.
I really only see China pushing back against this.

At first I was confused, because who wouldn't want to go to space? It sounds like an amazing, majestic and humbling experience. Then I remembered she's probably surrounded by Banzinga cultists who can and will bring up their Lord and Savior Musk if such a question is brought up.
Pretty good litmus test tbh. Anything more than "I guess it'd be cool to see the earth from orbit but that's about it" usually turns into this weird space eugenics type shit.
Unless your answer is "it'd be cool to live in that anarchist space station/meteor wreckage thing from that one episode of cowboy bebop where they meet that chess master" then going to space is cool
There's two types of Space Guys
The ones that want to be an officer aboard some space navy warship fighting against aliens and doing space eugenics and colonizer shit
Or the ones who see things like Firefly and The Expanse and just wanna chill doing cool outlaw labour shit in space

There's also a lot of math and science nerds that want to infodump about cycler orbits and play a lot of kerbal space program
those things are very much not as different as you'd like to think
he'll go to space to look for space alien girls and get rejected by them on the first date too
Damn, that's the one and only reason I wont date Olivia rodrigo
"Me born off planet catching strays"
Though I mean.... I am full of myself

Imagining a guy who doesn’t want to colonize space because there’s no aliens to genocide
Go the Exo-Squad route. Colonize Mars and genetically engineer a race of superhumans to survive the harsh conditions. Then become terrified of your Mars-Engineered Children, reclassify them as a hostile alien species, and spend the next five years doing interstellar pogroms in cool mechs.
Earth from orbit is supposed to be one of the most beautiful things a person can experience, who wouldn't want to do that
Earth from orbit is supposed to be one of the most beautiful things a person can experience
For most with a functioning sense of awe and wonder, that is true, but then some come back not only not changed, but worse.
Char Aznable, holding frustration in
: Well, it's not like I'd be interested in someone whose soul is held down by Earth's gravity anyways.
because your bowls need gravity to work on their own
