In 2016, the word post-truth was selected “word of the year” by the Oxford Dictionary. Post-truth is a concept that denotes the vanishing of the shared standards for objective evidence and the intentional blur between facts, alternative facts, knowledge, opinion, belief, and truth. In NewSpace in particular, due to its complexities and sci-fi halo, facts often give way to over-decorated fictions, which can stretch long distances unchecked. These fictions, shaped under the pressure of funding needs and the urge of growing like there is no tomorrow, create some particular conditions where fads, fashions, imitation, and humbug are the norms.
