It's not like going into space requires a lot of specialized technologies just to not suffocate, let alone to do anything once in space. Heck, they might not even have enough knowledge of the formulas behind gravity to do basic orbital maneuvering.

Then there's the possibility that Dust, Aura, et al don't function beyond the biosphere—a concept not unique in speculative fiction. There's no proof either ay, but it's a possibility.
