Maybe we’re not ready to trade blue skies for black voids just yet.
Marrakech – You, sipping your morning coffee, not on your balcony but floating in zero gravity, staring out at Earth like it’s your personal screensaver.
Sounds glamorous, doesn’t it? But let’s be real — what would life actually look like if we lived in space?
Would it be all shiny jumpsuits and intergalactic brunches, or would we spend our days dodging floating crumbs and missing the feeling of grass beneath our feet? (Spoiler alert: It’s probably a little of both.)
First off, how do we even dress for space?
Forget Sutton Brady-worthy blazers — what’s the point of a tailored silhouette when you’re strapped into a bulky spacesuit all day?
And can you imagine the tragedy of realizing that leopard print doesn’t exactly pop in the vacuum of space?
Someone call NASA — we need sparkles on those suits, stat.
Now, let’s talk food. If you’re dreaming of Michelin-starred meals served under the stars, think again.
Space food is basically a Tinder date — looks good in photos, but once you dig in, it’s… meh.
Dehydrated sushi, anyone? But hey, maybe we’d get creative.
Floating kitchens could make for a whole new culinary genre.
Space tacos, anyone? Just don’t sneeze — the salsa might end up on your ceiling.
At first, zero gravity sounds like a blast.
Floating around like a cosmic ballerina? Yes, please. But then reality sets in.
Where do your shoes go when they’re not stuck to the floor?
How do you shampoo your hair without it turning into a Medusa-like situation?
And let’s not even get into the logistics of trying to dance.
Imagine salsa-ing mid-air, and suddenly your partner floats away. “Hey, come back!”
Speaking of floating partners, what’s the dating scene like up there?
If you think meeting someone on Earth is hard, imagine trying to find your soulmate in a galaxy where the population is literally spread across light-years.
Plus, long-distance takes on a whole new meaning when you’re messaging someone in another solar system.
Swipe left on Mars, right on Venus?
Sure, living in space has its perks — unmatched views, no traffic, and the possibility of saying, “Oh, that star? It’s in my backyard.”
But would it ever feel as cozy as Earth? No ocean waves, no soft grass, no sun on your skin.
And where would we get our gossip fix? It’s not like you can run into your ex at a café in orbit.
Maybe we’re not ready to trade blue skies for black voids just yet.
Earth, for all its flaws, has something space doesn’t: the little things.
The smell of rain, the warmth of sand under your feet, the ability to order pizza without wondering if it’ll float away.
So, while the idea of living among the stars is dazzling, maybe it’s best kept as a vacation spot for now.
Call me when the cosmic condos come with a built-in gravity simulator.
Until then, I’ll be here, sipping coffee on my very terrestrial balcony, grateful for the ground beneath my feet.
What about you? Are you packing your space bags, or do you need a little more convincing?
