Answer:

The narrator feels positive about space travel, since this is portrayed as something beneficial for humanity.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this story we meet Lauren, a girl who lives in the middle of a destroyed society and completely without resources. In this story, the world is no longer as we know it and life is very difficult, in addition, the difficulties that humans experience causes polarization and persecution of religious and social minorities. This all makes Lauren worried about the human, but she believes that humans can do more than that and that it is the duty of the human being to travel outside the pallet and achieve improvements for their survival. Since space travel is portrayed as something beneficial for the protagonist, the narrator follows this reasoning and is positive about it.
