It's amazing, the things that can impact your day for better or for worse. When your job occasionally involves scouring the internet for newsworthy reads, sometimes what's out there can be a bit of a downer.

That being said, we here at Objects in Space (me, it's literally me) strive to give you the most emotionally balanced link round-up possible. What that boils down to is a mixture of both positive and negative, so that you might achieve a happy medium as you wind down from your day.
