Space hits different: it’s a cold, endless void that swallows everything whole. Its sheer size crushes you with loneliness, makes you feel like a speck lost in a darkness deeper than any nightmare. Then there’s the brutal reality out there: no air to breathe, radiation that burns through flesh, and a silence so absolute it messes with your mind. No trees, no sky, no touchstones from home… just emptiness and danger at every turn.
And if that’s not enough, the thought of something out there, alien, unknown, maybe watching, stokes a raw kind of fear. Space doesn’t just push the limits of what we know; it shatters them, leaving you staring into the abyss with nothing but questions and chills.
