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 think i understand why you feel that way, it happens to me constantly. Since there is already so much hype about this, you don’t need to hype it as well. Enough hype already.
Basically, there should always be attention on every launch, but it’s not necessary that everybody obsesses over every launch. Only that somebody does. Since so many eyes are watching this mission already, you don’t feel any need to spend your time on it as well.
