Very space-opera, but it does have a certain soft romantic essence that is missing in so much modern science fiction. Dare we go back to it?

Today I started thinking about the scifi trope about hyperspace needing sentient beings, not machines, to be able to fly a ship through there.

The HyperSpace TrackPad Pro is a touchpad designed to be a highly configurable wired or wireless input device for computers and mobile devices. Last fall, Hyper launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the trackpad, and the company expected to begin shipping units to backers by March, 2026.
