The final frontier is space, but is it one we should ever strive to cross? Space is the most dangerous environment conceivable by definition, and it is home to hazards that are beyond the comprehension of the human intellect. Everything becomes more eerie and makes less sense as we understand more about the cosmos.
Consider the fact that the universe is growing as an example. That being said, I don’t want to imply that the universe’s boundaries are just expanding. The actual distance between every point on Earth is expanding. Our atoms are gradually moving apart from one another.

The cosmos will have separated from itself so completely in billions and billions of years that anyone who is still alive won’t even know that there is anything else out there. In addition, everything that stood in the way of the main attraction will have already been absorbed.
Here The 8 Horrifying Space-Related Facts
1st Fact
The first Chinese astronaut to fly into space was Yang Liwei. After reaching that altitude, he kept hearing an enigmatic hammering on his spacecraft’s door that sounded like someone trying to enter. Nothing was visible to him through the window. Naturally, sound cannot travel through space. Once he was back on solid ground, he reported it. Since then, identical knocking has been recorded by several Chinese astronauts. Nobody is certain what the knocking sound actually is, even to this day.
2nd Fact
According to the theory known as the Kessler Effect, a single catastrophic event in low earth orbit could set off a chain reaction in which satellites explode into tiny pieces that destroy other satellites, which then explode into even smaller fragments, and so on, until the earth is completely encircled by a massive cloud of tiny flying death shrapnel, making it nearly impossible to escape this planet. This served as the basis for the film “Gravity.”
3rd Fact
blasts of gamma radiation. At least half of our globe would be sterilized and our atmosphere would catch fire if a tsunami of cosmic gamma radiation struck Earth. In the late 1960s, short-lived bursts of powerful gamma-rays from space were detected.
4th Fact
degradation in vacuum. It’s plausible that the energy in our universe is not at rest and may choose to return to that state at some point, erasing matter as we know it.
5th Fact
Depending on how you view it, this image conveys both the vastness of space and the slow speed of light. Although I’ve seen animations previously that illustrate the size of the universe, for some reason this one struck a deeper chord with me. When you consider even a small portion of our solar system, the speed of light—the fastest speed on Earth—becomes excruciatingly sluggish.
6th Fact
Black holes that move. The planet and/or solar system could actually be moved out of the way, in my opinion, if that is all we could accomplish. The most practical thing we could do is that.
7th Fact
Earth will not outlive Voyager 1. Given the sheer size of space, it is “plausible” to think that Voyager 1 will outlive our planet. Perhaps Voyager 2 should too.
8th Fact
The gap in Bootes. a region of space where, in comparison to other regions of similar size, there should be roughly 50,000 galaxies, but there are only roughly 2,000. It’s expanding as well. We wouldn’t have discovered the existence of other galaxies until the 1960s if the Milky Way had been at the center of the Boötes vacuum.
