Out of curiosity and without any condescention implied, are you saying this because the business you're currently working on seems less important / relevant / urgent, to you, than space exploration ? Because, "these guys are making rockets in tents", sure ; but, meanwhile, someone is "fixing up human beeings in an hospital", "teaching kids how to read in a school", "writing poetry in a basement", etc... There probably isn't any objective way to rank pursuits (or at least, no "objective" way that does not end up in a dystopian society and / or Golgafrincham [1].) And it's not like anyone is actually counting score (unless you're Chinese. Someone is counting score on you at the moment. Deities have mercy on you.) Those precautions aside, if such an event is triggering you to pause and reconsider you life choices, than go for it ! Maybe you actually need to branch and try and get to work in space exploration after all. And if you're not clever enough, educated enough, US Citizen-enough, etc... there are opportunities to inspire others, educate others, help others... And in the end, just plain looking at the sky. This thing is darn cute. Enjoy the journey. [1] https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Golgafrinchans https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Golgafrinchans
