I find this odd because if that's true, in other words if the policy direction really reflects that there's no money or interest for scientific exploration in the pure sense, --specifically you know like 'let's go explore space, the great unknown'--I find that really odd because the policy direction would then sort of directly contradict the sort of pervasive sci-fi narrative that fills science fiction films and so on. Maybe they're just unrelated I always thought of film industry as sort of expressing the soft power policy aspirations of the state. Like that's why violence and war is lionized because you need to create on the next generation of soldiers and in people's minds you need to have that occupation as something nobel... they' Tho given our ape brains it's not that hard to turn people into soldiers, anyway... we are naturally. But I just find it a really odd juxtaposition between there seemingly being no policy mojo behind space exploration but we represent that in our films as if it's some great aspiration that fills us with awe and wonder. Like, from the psyche of our civilization how do we resolve that?
