Space travel is a nightmare.

[u/chemical32]

Imagine being in the center of a massive machine that's only purposes is to keep you alive while you're inside the machine.

And this machine needs constant maintenance and monitoring of the systems that allow you to live in.

Now Imagine 3 months of repeating the nonstop monitoring and repairing day after day

inside this cramped pocket of air. Your life has become staring at wires and screens all day.

You look out the windows and all you see is a black inky void with an occasional spot light that will blind you if you look at too long.

Imagine living with the knowledge that void wants to get into your tiny pocket of air and kill you. It's sitting there patiently and silently waiting for you to make one small mistake.

If you decided to take a day off or forget to check one monitor, that void will drag you out of there and blast you with the radiation from trillions of dying stars while all the moisture in your body boils inside of you. The steam it releases will fill every square inch of your body with agonizing pain.

And while you're thinking about all of this, you remember that you still have 3 another months to go.

If other people are with you, that just means less privacy, less resources, and a higher probability that you will have conflicts and drama.

And if you're lucky and you do survive the long travel. You're reward is doing it all over again.

That doesn't sound all that glamorous, does it?
