But it is written from the warped perspective of one person inside the space bubble talking to others inside the same space bubble. Anyone who takes 30 seconds looking outside that bubble will realize that the real world \u2013 where all of the non-space converts and decision makers spend 100% of their time \u2013 has no time for lofty goals and inspirational things. It is all about meat and potatoes, paychecks, whether or not you can love someone, all covered with a deep sauce of \u2018us Vs them\u2019. Space people need to read the room and adapt their strategies to the world as it is \u2013 not as we would like it to be.
