Sorry, not sorry Elon.
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.
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.
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.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
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
She sounds boring as hell
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.
