People look for answers to many things and it is the same in sailing. Sailing was very dangerous and many people believed stories and tales of mermaids, islands made of magnets that pulled nails from ships, storms, and monsters. These stories gave them a means to explain what happened to the ships. We will do the same thing once we send spaceships into deep space. People want answers so they make up things to provide answers.
