Maybe this will help people appreciate that space is not some other world on TV, instead we are in space right now . Yes, it can reach out and touch us.
Just to be pedantic for the hell of it, we're really in space-time, and it's that "time" dimension that makes "space" capable of reaching out and touching us :D
That's not being pedantic. That's mixing up "space" as in "the region of space above the heaven, for most part consisting of vast emptiness and occasional celestial bodies" and "space" as the "A continuous area or expanse that is free, available, or unoccupied" and of course it's technical usage in physics.
And this is being pedantic for the hell of it :-)
