are you equally upset that Harry Potter isn’t real?

I don’t mean to come across as rude, I just can’t really understand what you mean unless you’re saying that you’re sad magic isn’t real

If you believed magic was real, wouldn't you be sad to learn it wasn't?

You're saying you never, ever, not once thought interstellar travel and space colonies might happen one day. Far into the future, of course.

My dream of interstellar travel died once I grew up a bit and learned about relativity. But colonies in our solar system and the rest are dead because of money more than anything else.
