Logically, he universe is infinite, what they have described is a local space perspective. Wondering why they are announcing just now what myself and doubtless millions realized decades ago.

I suspect that voices from on high insisted on this narrow conception and by repetition, made it TheTruth!© until 'no one dare say nay.'

NASA isn't operating on that low level, they are going for empirical facts. Those who are incapable of doing hard sciences are fed 'pop science.'
