I question whether awe and wonder about this giant mostly-unstructured human-hostile death trap we call a universe is an appropriate emotion for a rationalist. Morbid fascination, maybe -- Lovecraft and Teller, not Sagan.
"Wonder" is the emotion that smells a bit off to me. Can you feel that if you are not enamored of mysterious answers?
Yes. See Sense of Wonder for examples.
The place has potential if it were fixed up a bit. That's what gets me up in the morning.
