The value of scientifically 'soft' science fiction - Dan Dare scientist perspective.

I saw this article today and wanted to share.

Cool to see scientific perspective on Dan Dare's cultural impact. Makes me wonder how many scientists were first inspired by comics/SF before they understood the real physics.

Anyone else have formative sci-fi that got them interested in science, even if it wasn't scientifically accurate?

Finally caught up with Afterlight and found myself really engaged with how it approached.

My favorite type is space opera but everyone has a different taste.

For those who've seen it - which of the main storylines resonated more with you? The second story was the best for me actually.

Also hunting for similar recommendations. I'm particularly drawn to sci-fi the character driven plots.

What would you suggest as a good follow-up?

Cheers!
