Abstract:
This research note explores how logistics, though often overlooked, is a central element in space fantasy science fiction narratives. In Frank Herbert’s Dune, the spice—essential for interstellar travel—demonstrates how logistics influences space geopolitics. Star Wars highlights the logistical challenges involved in managing an intergalactic empire, from constructing the Death Stars to coordinating rebel fleets. In Star Trek, space exploration depends on intricate logistics to sustain ships, space stations, and diplomatic relations. Finally, Isaac Asimov’s Foundation illustrates how the colla

Abstract:
This study explores the cultural impact of science fiction films on students' comprehension of scientific and technological advancements. By analyzing survey data from 120 participants, the research provides valuable insights into how these films shape students’ curiosity, perceptions, and attitudes toward science and technology. Participants were asked to reflect on their understanding of scientific concepts after watching science fiction films and how these movies influenced their views on emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and space exploration. The findings suggest th

Abstract:
In science fiction, the construction of alien life forms is usually less concerned with the exploration of the other than with reflections on the human condition and our status in evolving environments. Joan Slonczewski’s Elysium Cycle is no exception to this rule, and its four novels discuss the question, “What does it mean to be human?” in ever new contexts. But instead of the action-driven plots that frequently structure tales of interstellar travel and colonization, we find a focus on negotiations between the different agents and representatives of alternate life forms to avoid escalating

Abstract:
Science fiction (SF) is often perceived as a ‘fringe’ form of entertainment that excites the socially challenged. This misperception detracts from the critical, scientific and interpretive nature of the genre which can be directed into science teaching at school and university levels as an innovative way of exploring the cultural background, politics, leitmotif and themes of society, science and their operation. One example is the ‘alien’ theme in SF; it is perceptually one of the driving factors in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). Such a topic can become an introduction to

Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to study the role of the mundane in contemporary culture based on the mundane science fiction (MSF). The term originated in 2004 thanks to «The Mundane Manifesto» by Geoff Ryman and his anonymous co-authors who argued for a focus on the modern science paradigm instead of dreams of outer space. The Manifesto outlines SF subgenre, where the setting is in the near future on the Earth or within the Solar System, excluding interstellar travel or contact with aliens. MSF suggests the believable use of technology and science, as it exists at the current time or a plausible ext

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: This article explores how Simon Jimenez's The Vanished Birds participates in but also moves beyond the discourse of techno-Orientalism through its depiction of characters, companies, and interstellar travel. Readers encounter a seemingly quintessential techno-Orientalist construct when they meet the book's protagonist, Fumiko. But their attention is soon redirected to a corporate entity whose predatory capitalist practices make it the new, menacing techno-Orientalist figure in the plot. The novel intervenes in discourses of techno-Orientalism by emphasizing how exploitative economic

Abstract:
In recent years, exoplanets have become one of the most exciting topics in astronomy. While sending humans to a planet light-years away from Earth remains science fiction, recent technological advancements have made the prospect of sending a small probe to an exoplanet not only fascinating but also realistic. In addition to time and ample resources, developing such a probe and guiding it to a world beyond our solar system would require a deep understanding of gravitational dynamics. Here, we considered a simulated journey to Proxima Centauri b to determine the feasibility that a rocket could t
