1 about: 'To talk about' something is to discuss it, to use it as a conversation topic. In this case, the two people talked about, or discussed, space (planets, galaxies, etc.). Another example: 'I don't want to talk about my addiction to carrots'.
1 at: We cannot 'talk at' a topic or subject. However, we can 'talk at' someone, which means that we speak to them without regard for their reactions or interest in what we are saying. For example: 'He just talked at me all night. It was a one-sided conversation.'
1 over: 'To talk something over' means to discuss it in detail and try to reach a conclusion or solution. For example: 'Let's talk this over in the meeting tomorrow'. We can also 'talk someone over' (convince or persuade them) and 'talk over someone' (to interrupt or ignore someone and speak more loudly than them).
2 about: 'To learn about' something is to acquire knowledge or gain information regarding it - this is one of the principal meanings of 'about'. For example: 'In our history class, we have been learning about the Crimean War'.
2 into: 'Into' does not make sense here. 'Into' describes movement towards the interior of something. For example: 'The thief ran into the police station by accident'.
2 over: We cannot 'learn over' something. 'Over' describes a position above, or higher than, something. For example: 'The helicopter hovered over the city'. We could also 'learn something over again', which means 'to learn something again that we previously knew'.
3 on: We use 'on' to describe location within or 'over' something. In this case, the hippie is saying that his conversation about the planet Uranus was so intense that he was able to imagine himself located on the planet itself. Another example: 'I heard that in 100 years, some humans might live on Mars'.
3 towards: A person cannot 'be towards' a place, but they can move, travel or go towards a place. In other words, 'towards' generally accompanies a verb of movement (not the verb 'to be'). For example: 'The cat slowly crawled towards its prey'.
3 about: We generally use 'about' with verbs like 'to talk' or 'to learn', not 'to be'. However, in colloquial English, it is possible to say, for example, 'I'm all about the money' (money is the most important thing to me).
4 about: 'To think about' something is to consider it or to reflect on it. For example: 'I'm thinking about finding a new job. I've already been doing this one for 6 months.'
4 to: 'To think to' is always followed by a verb in the infinitive, not in the '-ing' form. In this sense, its meaning is similar to 'to remember to'. For example: 'Did you think to warn our neighbors about the party on Saturday?'.
4 by: We use 'by' to describe the manner in which something was done, or an action which made another action possible. Example: 'She constructed a raft by tying logs together with long grass'. 'Have you ever thought by joining the army?' would be a strange sentence, meaning 'Have you ever joined the army in order to think?' (implying that joining the army made thinking possible). Probably not a common occurrence.
