It doesn't necessarily invalidate your point, but I would say astrophysics is a hard science, and yet a ton of it is based on observation and modeling of events we can't control or reproduce.

Some part of physics are not hard science at the moment as long as we can't perform observations/experiments to validate or invalidate theory (for example string theory). Some part of astrophysics are clearly not hard science at the moment.
