The drama isn’t even done that well. Like you say, it’s stupid; the people are on average just worse than the sort of people who would actually be there.

I wanted the technical sci-fi to be worth it, but it wasn’t. There really isn’t much catering to an engineer audience.

As somebody who has spent a lot of time with high-quality academically pedigreed humans in far out places, I assure you that they're very capable of dumb drama. And, again tho I hated the show, everyone will be watching just as they were in for all man kind.

maybe it should be mandatory to watch all episodes of "Big Bang Theory" on a trip to mars for educational purposes ;-)

as if 1 year trapped on a tube in space wasn't arduous enough

People have many facets of intelligence, and no one hits them all across the board. Where there are blind spots, there will be drama.
