There's other ways of expanding the "because-noun" construction. I've occasionally posted a link to Facebook with a comment like "This is incredibly awesome and you should read this, because SPACE." In this case, the construct expands to something like "...because it has to do with space, which I consider to be inherently awesome."
"Because-noun," it would appear, can be construed multiple ways, and a lot of the meaning is contextual.

Or even "because it will help with your school project which is about space". It's too fickle, too context dependent.
