It’s fair to say that space and space exploration haven’t attracted this much public interest since the 1950s. It wasn’t until 2022 that we watched NASA slam into an asteroid to change its orbit, lost our minds over our first ever glimpse of the Milky Way’s massive black hole, and got the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope. Last year, NASA landed Perseverance on Mars, and we also saw Captain Kirk “return” to space (at the age of 90). And really, is there a better testament to collective brain space than NASA sweatshirts in the Gap?
There are certainly avid space nerds out there with a long history of geeking out over all things space the final frontier and amateur astronomers who ex telescopes on clear nights. If you’re in need of a gift for one of these space-obsessed people, you’re in luck, as we’ve put together the ultimate guide to the best space gifts on the market. We bet you—and your gift—will think they’re out of this world.
