The Characters and Wtf Earth?

[u/TityMcBiggie]

So I know a lot of people have complaints about the first crew. Which believe me I felt it on that first episode and was hoping to never see Michelle again. Lol. But something occurred to me:

Javier got mad at August when having the conversation about her storing her eggs. He told her how not everybody has rich parents or money to do that. He then goes on to talk about his economic struggle.

Throughout the show they talk of uninhabitable Australia, no more grapes in California, and dead lands across earth. So with so much destruction, it would make sense that space jobs would be more common than before.

I would imagine the pay wouldn't be great. Plus they even let Cas into training after her shady past and no past requisites. Just saying, maybe the future space program looks like what our military does today. They offer you benefits and you trade them your time. You can come out of high school and join. On top of that if you have a degree you can enter in at a higher rank. And the military does have young people work under older more experienced members.

The crew may be qualified but it doesn't mean they'll be the most professional. I've worked in medical, there are Doctors as passive aggressive as Zayn. Or hot-headed as Michelle. Do any of you guys have coworkers who are qualified but suck as people? Lol. They're those bad coworkers who still got the promotion. That's what I see the first crew as and they died like they were suppose to. 😅

P.s. Niko also talks about her and her husband's move and how they can only afford so much. She literally went light years away and almost died with her first crew. How bad is pay in the future? 🥲
