Hyperspace (deep space)

This page should be merged.

It should be relocated at Hyperspace because this strikes me as a very hazy difference of definition of a standard sci-fi terms between sources, and blanketly assuming that the equation with deep space in ONE source applies to a whole class of sources from one particular time period is tendentious, especially as later uses of "Hypespace" might very well assume the background of those 60s sources. All this information should be present at Hyperspace, with "accounts" language about the variant implication in some sources about what the name refers to
