Have you ever learned about outer space and stars?

In our school, most of the science-related topics revolved around natural science and physics. We did study outer space during our primary years, although it wasn’t very in-depth. However, there are many TV shows that discuss planets and our solar system.

Do you like science fiction movies? Why?

Yes, I enjoy science fiction movies, especially classics like “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Interstellar.” I find the concepts and ideas about space exploration to be very intriguing.

Do you like science fiction movies? Why?

Actually, I prefer movies with simpler plots that don’t require much thinking, such as dramas and sometimes action movies.

Do you want to know more about outer space?

Currently, I am focused on improving my knowledge in business, so I don’t have much time to study or learn more about outer space. Additionally, there isn’t a pressing need for me to delve deeper into the subject.

Do you want to go into outer space in the future?

Yes, I have a desire to explore outer space. However, I believe that it may not be possible in our lifetime due to various challenges such as the need for oxygen and water. Additionally, I have heard that the cost of space travel is exorbitantly expensive. For now, I would rather focus on traveling on our planet first.

Version 2

1. Have you ever learned about outer space and stars?

At school, we brushed up on outer space and stars, but I envy some of my friends whose teachers were very interested in the cosmos. In grade six, we didn’t do any art projects about outer space and stars, like drawing or making a model of the solar system, but other classes did. I’m not sure why that happened. Growing up, we had an encyclopedia focused on outer space and the cosmos, including constellations and how they are connected. TV was also a great source of learning about outer space, especially shows by Carl Sagan and the Discovery Channel when they produced quality content.

2. Do you like science fiction movies? Why?

When it comes to science fiction movies, especially those about outer space and stars, not really. They often feel too far-fetched. We enjoy them not for the stars but for the underlying themes. For example, Star Wars, Star Trek, and The Orville address social issues through the lens of space. Star Wars, which I started watching in my early 30s, focuses more on family dynamics than on space itself. So, I wouldn’t say I like science fiction movies because of the stars or planets; it’s more about the storytelling.

3. Do you want to know more about outer space?

Not really. There are many pressing issues we need to focus on. Recently, I’ve adopted the mindset that if I can’t control something, I don’t think about it. Outer space is something I can’t control. For example, hearing about an asteroid possibly hitting Earth in 2035 only causes anxiety. I like seeing occasional updates, like NASA’s latest pictures, but I just look at them for a few minutes and then move on. I’m more interested in gadgets, so space is just a passing interest.

4. Do you want to go into outer space in the future?

When I was young, I had a traumatic experience related to thirst. I feel uncomfortable traveling without enough water. Even though destinations in space might have water, the thought of not having enough terrifies me. People might suggest bringing water, but it’s very heavy, and space missions won’t carry sufficient amounts. You can’t buy water in space like at a convenience store. Until there’s a solution for this, I won’t consider going to space.
