I agree if they mean it in the Elon "let's heckin colonize Mars and build an epic bitcoin utopia" sense, but I don't see the issue in wanting to explore space out of a sense of curiosity and wonder.
More often than not, I think you might end up with the first type of dude on your date these days. 
William Shattner went to space and it just made him sad.
because your bowls need gravity to work on their own
Well i won't tolerate such disrespect of a hero of humanity and champion of socialism 
so I don't think me and Ms Rodrigo would be a good fit. Just canceled my upcoming date with her.
You want to go to space to live in a shitty mars colony and maintain capitalism by exploiting space based resources, I want to go to space so that i can be the first human to meet, fall in love with, marry, and raise a family with my alien boyfriend. We arent the same.
Pretty good litmus test tbh. Anything more than "I guess it'd be cool to see the earth from orbit but that's about it" usually turns into this weird space eugenics type shit.
Unless your answer is "it'd be cool to live in that anarchist space station/meteor wreckage thing from that one episode of cowboy bebop where they meet that chess master" then going to space is cool
There's two types of Space Guys
The ones that want to be an officer aboard some space navy warship fighting against aliens and doing space eugenics and colonizer shit
Or the ones who see things like Firefly and The Expanse and just wanna chill doing cool outlaw labour shit in space
Or the ones who see things like Firefly and The Expanse and just wanna chill doing cool outlaw labour shit in space
That too
There's also a lot of math and science nerds that want to infodump about cycler orbits and play a lot of kerbal space program
those things are very much not as different as you'd like to think
She sounds boring as hell
Elon is that you?
It's crazy some people are THAT obsessed with the guy they equate him with the entire space industry.
The space industry is basically filled with ElMos;
, the space walk billionaire guy that owns a defense company that specializes in airstrikes, virgin galactic virgin-Cola guy.
You can bring up NASA all you want, it doesn't change the fact that they're (sadly) a minority in an industry that is being overtaken by techbros with no actual scientific education. They just throw money at it and get starving professors and graduates to do the actual work.
I think the billionaires are the minority considering there is the CNSA, Roscosmos, ESA, and the ISRO
Focusing purely on NASA is very USAmerica centric
How DARE you!
"Me born off planet catching strays" 
Though I mean.... I am full of myself
Imagining a guy who doesn’t want to colonize space because there’s no aliens to genocide
Go the Exo-Squad route. Colonize Mars and genetically engineer a race of superhumans to survive the harsh conditions. Then become terrified of your Mars-Engineered Children, reclassify them as a hostile alien species, and spend the next five years doing interstellar pogroms in cool mechs.
Char Aznable, holding frustration in 
: Well, it's not like I'd be interested in someone whose soul is held down by Earth's gravity anyways.
he'll go to space to look for space alien girls and get rejected by them on the first date too
Sexpats expanding their infestation to space
how about olivia ridriGO to the POLLS 
Damn, that's the one and only reason I wont date Olivia rodrigo 
Yuri Gagarin was handsome enough, IMO
Earth from orbit is supposed to be one of the most beautiful things a person can experience, who wouldn't want to do that
This is good to know, I have a date with her later
This is an excellent litmus test, I'm going to steal it.
Any regular person that cares about space (I'm excluding actual scientists) has 75% chance of being a bazinga brain.
Another litmus test: do you think cryptocurrency will replace regular money?
I want to go to space but only astral projection as a ball of energy or taken on board by a benevolent and highly spiritually advanced race of squid, a second date please miss Rodrigo.
At first I was confused, because who wouldn't want to go to space? It sounds like an amazing, majestic and humbling experience. Then I remembered she's probably surrounded by Banzinga cultists who can and will bring up their Lord and Savior Musk if such a question is brought up.
i would rather shrink to a molecular level. now THAT sounds fun
