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.
I don’t care because I got disillusioned with technology in general in recent years.
For some reason I always thought progress is objectively, exclusively positive. Now I know it depends on who wields it, just like it is with everything else in the world.
Don’t know why it took me this long to notice.
Btw the prospect of one day seeing man made lights on the moon has become revolting to me.
