Why astronautics is offtopic?

Question

Space

While I managed to pick up the passing red banner for a minute , I dare to ask a question to users and the administration of Habrahabr.

I understand that Habrahabr is a community of people interested in and working in IT and the Internet. Astronautics does not belong to the field of activity of most of them. But there is a steady interest in the topic. And the fact that a person with a three-month experience on the site ended up, albeit almost by accident, in the 1st place in the rating proves this statement. I write about astronautics, about Curiosity, about Mars. And people are interested. But at the same time, in order to expand the audience of readers, you have to deliberately turn off the Cosmonautics hub so that the article can get into the “Best of 24 Hours”. This automatically increases views three times, despite the fact that there are much fewer subscribers to the Cosmonautics hub. But because little is signed, because everyone knows - if you wrote a good article about space, you can safely put the hub "The Future is Here" or "Robotics" and no one will object to the expediency of such a choice. But at the same time, subscribers of Cosmonautics will see it or see it later than everyone else - after the first day.

And then cosmonautics is now the future, and robotics, and hard, and software, and, in fact, the Internet, if the Earth exchanges e-mail with Curiosity, and NASA listens to music through its on-board computer. Satellites on Android are already flying. In my opinion, these are sufficient grounds to withdraw Cosmonautics from exile.

Sorry if I violated some local unwritten rules with my question. I'm still a beginner who is just interested in Mars and space. Thank you.

Answer 1

This is from info.

The audience of the project is progressive-minded people who are interested in the future of the IT market in general and the Internet economy in particular.

It's just that this topic is about popular science. There is a lot of this water even without astronautics, and although some like it, some do not, the subject of the site is still defined and lies somewhat away from popular science, although in the same plane.

Answer 2

You are still writing, yet it is much more interesting than the yellow press, but I think over time it will pass and something else will come to replace it.
