Well sorta...it's really a compound word spelt with an added space (--why do we do that ?). I'm not disputing that it's SOP by consensus, but we do have street artist... Leasnam (talk) 02:09, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• Keep per WT:LEMMING: In AHD[1] and Collins[2]. On a non-lemming side, I am not sure this is a sum of parts: it would have to be a science concerned with outer space, and that would be astronomy? It seems to be an umbrella term to cover sciences and investigations instrumental to outer space exploration, especially putting humans in space, including space medicine. See also W:Outline of space science, which says that "space science encompasses all of the scientific disciplines that involve space exploration and study natural phenomena and physical bodies occurring in outer space, such as space medicine and astrobiology". --Dan Polansky (talk) 06:02, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
