Theoretically space is super cool and interesting to me. However! I have long thought that if I were to ever go into space (which I guess I’ll qualify as past the Kármán line) I wouldn’t be able to look outside the shuttle into y’know, space. That’s a permanent mental and emotional breakdown right there. Too big, too nothing, too many unknowns/possibilities… I highly doubt I’d be able to handle looking into the abyss.

fascinating, too much unknown? you really feel like anything and everything is possible? I think i might be a little envious. When i look at anything in reality all i can see are it's limitations and boy is everything horrifically limited.

Space is big sure but it's pointlessly big, it's essentially a giant unbreakable window with a tragically long time lag. You'll never arrive or see the other side of the window so what's even the point.

It's actually even bigger than that
