Whether it's "Star Trek", "USS Enterprise", or the iconic space station from "2001 - A Space Odyssey", science fiction has always provided inspiration and ideas for the scientists and engineers that design and build real spacecraft.

The video compares factual and fictional space stations, manned spacecrafts and explains how sci-fi interplanetary travels could inspire future generation of scientists and engineers.

ESA is developing a series of short video lessons (Space-in-Bytes) for upper secondary school students, and their teachers. The extensive use of videos and internet by youngsters today make Space-in-Bytes a perfect combination of both, an attractive and innovative tool to reach out to a broad audience of students.

Rockets are primative but its all we have, shame we can't collect photons from suns then compress and project out an exhaust to make a space drive. could be the next idea for science fiction.

[Furkom]

My desire is go on faster. We are losing a lot of time in wars and conflicts.
