@elizayer @leeloo 2/ Unlike the Earth, most of us have not experienced 'Space'.
It's this other-space where there is a lot more fiction than science.
And over the last decades, there is a decided bias over what comes into our world through a screen versus what we experience.
We need more overheating in sci-fi space!

@knowprose I'm also still mulling this over too, in similar but different directions. Clearly "space is cold" comes from cultural tropes, and almost none of us have experiences, either sensory or intellectual, that actively contradict it. I think that without moments that snap us back to clarity, most knowledge gets hazy. And all the more so when there's something gently and passively undermining it.
