By all rights, this should be something I am deeply passionate about. I’ve been in tech/engineering my entire adult life and was obsessed with NASA as a kid. I even live on the east coast of Florida and can sometimes see the launches/landings over the ocean. But I just… don’t care at all. I’m not suffering from depression or any other malaise, and generally things are fine. But I haven’t clicked on a single link or looked at a single image. I know this has not been the case for many, many people, so I’m wondering what might be different about this launch (or really the whole program in general), and curious if anyone else has found themselves feeling the same.

    Do you feel science and tech is becoming tainted? Its no longer exciting. Its becoming a bane of existence. I don’t think its a direct link, but its a tenuous link.

    A step forward for ma…whilst back here they are killing many many man. It leaves a sour taste.

      It doesn’t help that a lot of people in power seem to take issue with objective realities.
