Science fiction always makes me kind of sad because I want to go on fun space adventures with cool aliens to crazy places while my ship travels faster than the speed of light and it's treated like hopping on the interstate in your Honda. I want that. I want to explore space and meet cool fellers - ThreadSky

Maybe it's because growing up there was this idea that maybe some day space exploration would be a thing. Like yeah I wasn't gonna meet a wookie but there was an idea that space was the next place to go. I was never going to go to middle earth, but maybe someday I'd go to the moon

Then you get older and learn that space is big. Like stupid crazy big. So big you can't even understand it with your pathetic human mind. And now I'm trapped here. Not to be dramatic but fuck man fuck

I don't know. It's like... you learn that even the super hard grounded scifi is STILL a massive fantasy and you're sort of like "fuck we really hit the wall huh"

Me age 10 thought the Star Trek Earth-future was just common sense, like, Child Brain: "Of course, people get nicer as technology improves. People will get nicer still until eventually we're not suffering anymore!

The aliens are the source of conflict because they're not there yet!"

You could go live at McMurdo Station for a year to viscerally experience what would be at the end of a grueling lifelong journey through zero gravity.

At first I thought you were quoting Hitchhiker's Guide! XD
"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Oh I'd kill for a Fantastic Four-worthy world of fun.

Aliens wouldn't fuck with our backwards asses for a billion space bucks.

Born too late to explore the Earth, too early to explore the stars

Like it's a meme but it's also very real.

I thought this was going to go in the direction of, “…but then you learn it’s really just commentary on oppressing the working class to maintain the status quo.”

Travelling past lightspeed is unnecessary. You will simply compress the space between two points

Wave
Charge
Collapse

I like finding malls in towns I'm driving through and imagine I've encountered a derelict ship that has the same Annie Pretzels as the last one.

Yeah... But as I grew, I realized that the fantasy and dream of that future was prime ground for interesting ideas that could be enacted today in our day to day life

I've always read a lot of scifi and daydreamed when I was young about it. Like wow I wanna go to space and explore planets and make cool alien friends
