Pretty good litmus test tbh. Anything more than "I guess it'd be cool to see the earth from orbit but that's about it" usually turns into this weird space eugenics type shit.
Unless your answer is "it'd be cool to live in that anarchist space station/meteor wreckage thing from that one episode of cowboy bebop where they meet that chess master" then going to space is cool
There's two types of Space Guys
The ones that want to be an officer aboard some space navy warship fighting against aliens and doing space eugenics and colonizer shit
Or the ones who see things like Firefly and The Expanse and just wanna chill doing cool outlaw labour shit in space
That too
There's also a lot of math and science nerds that want to infodump about cycler orbits and play a lot of kerbal space program
those things are very much not as different as you'd like to think
