I am interested in space, but not in space ships

Is this odd? Surely one can be interested in deep sea life without being interested in submarines.

    I care about space ships but not space (relatively speaking), and deep sea life more than submarines depending on the angle taken, so no it is not odd to me.

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I don't think it's odd. I mean, there are plenty of astronomers who want to learn about the cosmos without actually doing anything related to space travel...

    It's like if there was a genre of sea fiction, and you were expected to be interested in the battles of the Kriegsmarine if you liked angler fish.

    No, that makes sense.

    i suppose the excitement about space travel has to do with the desire to explore - space as 'final frontier', y'know?  The SF equivalent for the deep sea does exist - Twenty Thousand Leagues being the obvious case in point.

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Space is the object, the ship is just the means of getting there.

    Although some spaceships can be pretty cool anyway
