Whether it's Star Trek's USS Enterprise, or the iconic space station from 2001: A Space Odyssey, science fiction has always provided inspiration and ideas for the scientists and engineers that design and build real spacecraft.

The, at times, fine line between science fiction literature and the developments in real life space activities provides the backdrop to ESA's latest Space-in-Bytes video lesson release, titled "Science fiction - science fact".

  • Before Star Trek, ...

    Before Star Trek, in the late 50's, there was a tv program called 'Science Fiction Theater'. I have the series on dvd and was watching them awhile back. I was only seven when I first watched that show. I was sort of young for it, but even then I loved my sci-fi. However, after watching several of the shows recently, I saw that much of the show became the real thing. Awesome. Science fiction is the history book in reverse. (grin)
