Through out my journey on the Inter-webs I have come across many different personalities that many people cannot stand, and this rant is about the most prominent and most annoying.
The "Realist"
Now, you may be thinking "A realist is just a person that judges things with probable odds." But that is not the case. The realist I am refering to does not only judges things probably, but works to make sure improbable things stay that way.
If you said to a Realist "If we fund NASA well we could reach Mars in 15 years." They would respond "That money would be better suited for the military or medical purposes." (To some of you this would seem to be a reasonable respones, so just wait till the examples over to complain.) If you said "A cheap and effective way to travel in space has been discovered." They would say in turn "We should deal with domestic problems before going to the stars."
Even if its something as small as a silly prank, the Realist will look down upon it for not having an impact on their life.
The Realist is a result of extreme cynicism and a loss of faith in the Human race, which the last time I checked was 97% of the Escapist.
Disclaimer:I know the first examples are critical on people that oppose space travel, and I don't care.
