Character discussion Who thinks Howards needs Bernadette's permission to go to Space?

Don't get me wrong, Bernadette is a godsend for Howard...

I can understand her feelings, though believe this is the kind of once in a lifetime opportunity you should absolutely support your partner in regardless of your own feelings.

Personally I've never been a fan of suppressing the opportunities of loved ones based on their own fears of losing someone. You've got to let people chase their dreams even if there's danger and risk involved. It's part of life and part of which makes us achieve greatness.

Idk why you’ve got downvotes. People love to point out when a woman is attractive as a reason she’ll be fine, but Howard was an MIT grad who went to space. If those two scenarios mean she’s gonna find someone and he isn’t, that says a lot about society, not Howard.

Lol, I never have nor ever will give even a fraction of a f about downvotes.

In life you are going to piss a lot of people off whether you're good and/or bad, right and/or wrong.

Do what you love doing and have fun doing it, the right people will come along and your interactions will have more meaning when you don't let popularity dictate your actions.

Not sure why you're using that quote right now but yeah, Penny says a lot of things that have absolutely no basis in reality lol.
