Aye, and Gomorrah Interpretation
Aye, and Gomorrah feels like an adapted sequel to 2001 a Space Odyssey, in the sense of Dave achieving his final stage of evolution, being a star child born into space.
Many of the visual details about "Spacers" feels sourced from the film's ending. Neutered astronauts who evolve to become androgynous and sterile, avoiding maturation. They're desired by many, mainly for the reason that they can't be had sexually. Knowing this appeal, they use it to their advantage to cause mischief, essentially acting as sprites would in a Shakespeare play.
At first this trickery is out of amusement and greed for money, but on a deeper level, the Spacers have actually become lonely being cast out to live a life without intimacy. They act out of loneliness and desperation more than for fun, and slowly the world turns more and more grim for the outlook of humanity.
The question over our next stage of evolution is a big one. Have we finished? What more can we achieve? This interprets our next big stage of evolution to be self created, through advances in science and the age of space beckoning. The underlying message feels more like a warning of what could potentially happen moreso than a look at what life could be like in the future.
