I only watched the first one, and my fiance is watching 9 while we video call...

So can someone tell me how a guy/group of people who started out as street racers who stole electronics turned into them going into space?

They somehow got to three movies and then WB realized "wait...this is a series now. Those things make shitloads of money" and then kept pumping them out.

I understand how series and milking things work.

I want to know how someone who was a normal, street gang who stole electronics got to them going to space

It was always extra but really started getting crazy from 7 onwards. Everyone including the director and actors understand fully the series is a meme at this point. After F8 many people joked they could only get more over the top by going into space next. I even saw that speculation on here on the movies board. But then they actually went and did it.

I haven't kept up, but that's natural plot escalation. Sooner or later every franchise winds up in space.

I kinda want to see them time travel now. Like several car chases or whatever through multiple time periods.

I think its because they became cozy with the FBI or CIA and eventually graduated to becoming like the MI6 of street racing. Source: (Fast and the furious novelty slurpee cup.)

Remember the guys from Tokyo Drift? They're rocket scientists now. It seems like illegal street racing really opens up a lot of doors for people.

I think I actually saw this on top gear:

No, it's inexplicable nonsense. I don't even remember which one it was in, but in one of the movies there's a runway that's over 9000 miles long. The idea is not to analyze or understand what's going on, the idea is just to watch the explosions.

Heres a 2 hours video explaining it. And its pretty entertaining, too (And the article linking to the video, as well)

But I will say my co-worker apparently enjoyed the most recent film

It was originally a car nerd thing done suuuuper cheap, but then they realised most of their audience was people with superficial knowledge of cars who liked the cringey cheesey bits most, so they parodied themselves for several iterations.
