... and we're still waiting.>>> "SciFi is mostly about making money from adolescents, and those who have not left adolescence." <<<
If that were true, and it isn't, the same could be said about all genres of imaginative fiction be it western, romance, horror, mystery and much of what passes for mainstream. The fact that you only find SF worthy of laughter and contempt says more about your own limited imagination than it does about the genre you're denigrating. As a person who has worked in the space art field for many years, has numerous friends who write and illustrate the literature, and whose wife is a genre author herself, I take great umbrage at your plebeian comments.
