Something I have trouble explaining about space travel. Like, if you've read my book, you know I think human space faring is probably not economically valuable. It's not a good use of science dollars compared to other areas. I'm even skeptical of the case for inspiration (it doesn't seem to causally related to more aerospace degrees).

But it's also just really cool. Why don't I feel this way about Antarctica or Seabed exploration?

@ZachWeinersmith because not many of us stare towards Antarctica at home and wish we could go there. But the sky and stars are _right there_ and are calling to our imagination every day and every night. This is why flight is so much cooler than any other transportation.
