Was is it about this form of science fiction that has me so totally hooked?...well I reckon its that, it’s optimism at its very, very finest...or, it’s that if you weren’t happy on planet earth you could go somewhere else, although in Gene Roddenberry's vision, planet earth seems to be ok to live on too...the idea that they have sorted things out and space travel exists to somebody like me is unavoidably overwhelmingly appealing to watch on your TV screen.
I’m making a really big space ship at the moment in Cinema 4D and I couldn’t help but think what Star Trek means to me, and the optimism of Gene Roddenberry is something I keep going back to in my head.

FANTASTIC, I TOTALLY AGREE. IT SEEMS THERE IS AN AVALANCHE OF GOOD SCIENCE FICTION FOR VERY CHEAP, SAY .99, SO HOW IS A PERSON TO GET NOTICED OUT THERE. YET THERE IS HOPE BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU HAVE SUCH A MOTIVATED ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE GENRE. MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHECK OUT AN EXCERPT FROM MY UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT AT SOLDOUTBIENS4@BLOGSPOT.COM, OR WE COULD CHAT BY EMAIL OR FACE BOOK. LET ME KNOW IN A COMMENT.
