Stuff out there impacts life here - sometimes literally - all the time. It’s “cool” that you’d rather ignore it, but you’re very wrong that we’ll never see or have to deal with it in some fashion. Not to mention the scientific advances from observing the behaviour of something we previously thought couldn’t exist.
Oh yeah, it is! So then this person who is only interested in tangible things felt compelled to discuss this uh… intangible thing? Sounds like a troll.
Tangible things that they will experience?
Like a fair tax policy, for example? Or that they will become rich and famous? Or at least be able to afford a house? Or the last time Taylor Swift took a dump? Or world peace? Or some nonsense from the Orangeman? Or a genuinely real and truly traditional truth from the Bible? :D
Some people like things you don’t like and don’t like things you like.
If you don’t like motorcycles, sailboats, big trucks, dogs, guns, and computers, you are objectively wrong and have the wrong interests because you’re not exactly the same as I am.
That nice and all, but some people are more interested in tangible things. Not something we’ll never see or experience.
And without space exploration and the quest for it, you wouldn’t have a lot of those tangible things.
Emergency blankets, grooved pavement, cell phone cameras, cordless vacuums, scratch proof glass, insoles, ear thermometers, GPS, invisible braces, memory foam, tap water filters, smoke detectors… List goes on.
Velcro!

That might be true, but that doesn’t mean I have to get excited by that.
It is true. Nobody said you have to get excited about it, but now I’m confused as to why you bothered replying, or even commenting in the first place.
The title of the post is “Seriously. The fuck is wrong with you [for not caring about space]?”
So what’s wrong with you then

Man, I’m just trying to hustle enough to pay my rent…
The subtext to that is if you don’t find space fascinating, you probably don’t have a very good imagination, or much going on between your ears.
