I bet you think the Nutella floating by was a coincidence, huh? With the label rotating into view for that "perfect shot."
Does that not seem like an anomaly to you? LMAO outer space is science fiction filmed in a Hollywood basement. Just ask the Red Hot Chili Peppers; they love to mock all of you science fiction fans.

If you have the time and enjoy that sort of thing, try to play KSP. It's only a game and a cartoony one at that, but it really helps understand rocket building and orbital mechanisms:

Honestly, didn't notice it, and frankly don't care. If Nutella paid for an ad, then that's just more funding. Astronauts could dress like NASCAR drivers for all it matters to me.

Outer space is not fiction. Even in a flat earth world, outer space exists. Hey, but you do you.

The 2014 CSXT GoFast rocket holds the record for the highest and fastest amateur rocket. At 73.1 miles it suddenly stops. Rockets don't have brakes, so what brought it to an immediate halt?
Nothing gets through the Aether, let alone the firmament.
The only thing that's been to outer space is your imagination.

Gravity.

GoFast's engines burned for about 13 seconds or so, reaching about mach 5. At that point it was at 49,000ft. It then used its speed to continue to 379,900 ft slowly decelerating along the way not having any further thrust. At the peak gravity had slowed it to zero, at which point it began it's fall back to Earth.

So, basically, it acted like any other object that uses some form of limited propulsion to leave the surface of the Earth, returning once its velocity is overcome by gravity.

No different than me attempting a launch to dunk a basketball and coming up about 2 feet short. Lack of further propulsion.
