Why are Chemists less popular than Physicists?

You hear about Einstein and Hawking and Feynman all the time but there is literally no modern equivalent of Louis Pasteur

It's because physics has a lot of PR propaganda. Tyson, Sagan, Kaku, etc are all science communicators who popularized science. Chemists don't have those kinds of failures.

Is it not also a hefty bit of politics? I remember Richard Feynman mentioning he got into some high class group of scientists in Academia and the other group members wanted to make sure no Chemists got in their secret club.

Chemistry affects real life, we know about it because of the inventions: teflon, antibiotics, TNT.
Physicists haven't invented anything of real world relevance since levers 2000 years ago so we only have names to go by.

Because they let physicists enjoy the spotlight and secretly make more money in the background. At least that is what I think. Or it might be just that the wow factor of physics is more than chemistry

Part of the problem is that the line between physics and chemistry has really gotten blurred--to the point that there's not a meaningful difference between the two anymore. More often than not, important chemists nowadays are also physicists and engineers, so the branding is all off.

because it is less "spectacular"

No space-related crap (ie stars galaxies aliums etc)
No flashy shit
No layman friendly explanations

If only people knew how much the Haber Process revolutionized the whole world man.

Chemistry is fucking great.

Because theorists are the ones who are generally credited with updating our models and shifting our paradigms, and theoretical chem is indistinguishable from Physics. You have Pauling and Bohr who were Chemists who contributed substantially to Quantum Theory. Meanwhile nobody knows who Woodward is outside of Organic Chem.
