Looking at the vast majority of rich people out there, this is at least kinda inspiring.

Don't underestimate the motivational pull of such shows on kids. I'd rather the best brains of the coming generation to concentrate on space and aeronautics than on pushing even more intrusive ads on the rest of us.



I think intrusive ads / kids dreaming to become influencers and other bad things are just a temporary derailment, typical to current generations, and disappear as the internet related technologies and ecosystem become more mature and settled down. Future generations will be more inspired by space travel, like in the 50s/60s. There are already signs of this.


Let us hope so. Most derailments are temporary. Certainly the technological window of opportunity in space seems to be opening again.


For that to happen, I believe the pictures must have been better. I watched the live stream and was quite underwhelmed to see how poor the footage was.


True, but it adds a level of mystery to the activity. When everything is expected to be perfect, unexpected imperfections draw attention.


I don't need kids dedicating their lives to building toys for billionaires.
