   Olivia Rodrigo Reveals ‘Oddly Specific’ Question She Asks on First Dates https://people.com/olivia-rodrigo-reveals-oddly-specific-question-she-asks-on-first-dates-8738800

   > “I just think if you want to go to space, you’re a little too full of yourself."

   My news app put this goof on my radar. The last Apollo flight was in my lifetime. The Space Shuttle came at exactly the right time in little me's life. I wanted so badly to be a NASA astronaut like my heroes.

   No one who would speak ill of that is worth being in a room with. Rodrigo's question shows the asker a fool.

     @mwl You might be right about the source of it.

     Don't care. Even if Musk is also into it, I still want to go to space and do science and explore and ride rockets.

     @mwl Same, same. I could tell you the names of all the crew on each mission. There was nothing I wanted more.

     @tek

     I was a young child in the Apollo era, and elementary school when the shuttle launched. Those early astronauts were absolute heroes.

     While totally unsuited to space flight, I desperately wanted to.
