I sometimes wonder why tech people like space-related stuff so much. It is a major news indeed and a feat of science and technology, but why is space so popular? Because it&#x27;s otherworldly, large-scale and kind of making you feel empowered or united? I&#x27;m probably more interested in mundane, obscure and humble stuff, so this disproportionate popularity of space-related news is always baffling to me.
