Not many get scared when they are preschoolers, its only the human influence that teaches them to be scared of the dark later. Then again that phase passes by and another fascination with the heavenly objects begins.

Space travel, science fiction and astronomy are all efforts to try and understand our place in the universe a bit better. There is a reason why children want to be astronauts and join NASA.
