No point in going into space when the earth is in shambles. Looking to the stars while your fellow man is starving is crazy b

There’s little kids making millions at home talking about toys. Who tf wouldn’t want to do something like that? 
Astronuaght, Submarine Commander, Airplane Captain..theyd all give the same response..has nothing to do with space.
Theyre merely lazy cowards whose whole world is online. They dont even go outside, and you think theyd entertain Nasa ambitions
Yall are a bunch of anti intellectuals hoping that the next generation underachieves and fails like yall. 
stop projecting your sorry ass onto the kids. I cant stand when adults who are scared to accomplish something or chase their dreams telling a kid to give up on theirs.

These four astronauts could soon travel farther from Earth than anyone has gone before
The crew is blazing NASA's trail back to the moon. Their mission, scheduled to launch on Wednesday, could take them farther from Earth than any human has gone before.

Its interesting that the Coli brehs seem to be taking the "Astronaut" thing literally. You have to look at the great push for space and its effects on the youth, educational trends, and society during the space race.
Sure, back then lots of American children wanted to be Astronauts, but what isn't shown is how many of them followed adjacent paths into careers that were somewhat related, but not EXACTLY becoming Astronauts. There were a lot of children that grew up and pivoted from a dream of going into space; over to Computer Engineers, Geologist, Meteorology, Astronomers, Physicists, Pilots and all sorts of other paths that are lightly if not directly connected to an initial interest in becoming an Astronaut.
Many of those careers are very safe. When you instead have generations of children that just want to Fortnite dance on stream while screaming "Am I winning chat!?
" the other options for adjacent career paths are very different.
I don't think its a dead end; as many of them can possibly go into video editing, sound design, etc etc. But it will definitely be a shift from all of the science based career paths. Will be interesting to see how this pans out.
