I know this is just a meme but one thing I love about classic sci-fi (i.e. pre-1990) is the concept art. Michael Whelan and Frank Frazzeta being prominent examples of this. Their artwork are on another fucking level. There's just so ethereal about those hand-drawn/pre-digital artwork of non-existent worlds.

There is a 1970 British series called UFO. If you are an XCOM (or X-COM, for older folks like me) you should check it out. There are tech like shuttles to the Moon and racism has been all left in the past. In the future year of 1980.

I'm a Yank so I know it as UFO: Enemy Unknown even though I was born in 1999.

I thought space travel was just around the corner until I was like 22 :( Musk gave me hope when he sent a car to mars and then he spent the next decade either fucking democracy or fucking children.

when did musk send a car to Mars?

I know space x put one in orbit as an advertisement campaign but Mars is ridiculously more impressive.

I can't find any source to back up your claim though

The other half of the sci-fi novels begin, 'It's 2023, twenty years since Nuclear Armageddon...'
