This factual statement is a metaphor, which implies being alone, in danger, and in a seemingly hopeless situation.
It originally entered pop culture as the tag line on the Movie Poster for James Cameron's Alien (1979).
This statement is an oversimplification of fact. The vacuum of outer space transmits sound poorly; however, to scream, you need air, and thus others on your spaceship would hear you scream were you able.
This expression emphasizes the terrifying truth that we are truly alone when travelling through outer space. No help is nearby. You and your crew have to be self-reliant.
For its time, Alien was exceptionally scary and realistic, thus the expression is burnt in the American psychic with a sizable connotation of fear, hence the words are memorable to this day.

Failed examples of this are Francis Goya’s dark paintings. He painted these on the walls of his house and covered them up, most likely intending for them to naturally decay. A long time later however, they were found, preserved and named. Because this art has been uncovered and made public, it has lost its original status.
The funny thing about this ‘art for no one’ is that the only variant of it that is successful, we will never know about since it remained as intended; a secret to anyone but the artist.
