There are days that end without really ending. You close the laptop, turn off the lights in the office, go home with your head still entirely in overdrive.

Disposable e-cigarettes are one of the clearest examples of this contemporary paradox: a few days of use, a perfectly working lithium battery, followed by a noiseless journey to the trash can.
Some innovations initially seem light years away from our daily lives, but then suddenly pop up in everyday conversations, somewhere between a coffee break and a mindless scrolling moment on the phone.

Those who think of space quickly think of it as an infinite and unchanging realm, governed by natural laws that humanity watches only from a distance with increasingly sophisticated telescopes.
