I like your coworkers question. I was in the Navy and have a deep respect for the ocean. I have been in the middle of the Pacific near a storm. Our ship was in danger a couple times. Being woken up to general quarters alarms and practically standing on my bed rack was an unforgettable experience. The ocean is scary and it doesn’t give a fuck about you. It will kill you and ask for more. Even on a nice calm day, it can kill you if you don’t respect it.
I’m way more scared of the ocean. I’ve had to change plans multiple times because of tsunami warnings but I’ve never really even had to think about the dangers of space. Plus realistically any space based threat I face is like a societal problem whereas I could just get a little careless at a beach alone and I’m dead.
Maybe next time you are joining a friend group ask a different question.
My coworker asks if people are more scared of space or the ocean.

Space is the type of thing that scares the ocean.

And how are your coworkers friend groups going?
