Okay, let's just get it on the table. Space facts are fascinating, but so are space stories, real or otherwise. Under unreal comes science fiction, but let's not dismiss it too quickly. How many astronomers were first stimulated by watching Star Trek? Check out this page to learn more on this issue. Of course, we should leave room for skeptics. Nonetheless, I must admit I am enjoying the drama on Battlestar Galactica. Is it because of the hard science? No. In fact, the entire show is more like a Norse drama - "We will all die in the end, but drink up and prepare for another battle!" Still, we sometimes need the animation of possibility to become interested again in reality. Astronomers may seem like a dry lot, but they can be dreamers as well. In fact, I would not trust any group if it did not have space for dreamers. So let's keep our eyes open and our hopes high.
