Whether it's Star Trek's 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, at times, fine line between science fiction literature and the developments in real life space activities provides the backdrop to ESA's latest Space-in-Bytes video lesson release, titled "Science fiction - science fact".

Not necessarily, it's more about entertainment than anything. Those who don't have the brain mechanisms for thinking analytically (usually those who excel at math) are sucked into sci fi and think of themselves as intellectuals after watching a few clips of star trek and God knows what else. Please approve of this message ESA.

@deloitetouche @chrdann Actually, no. Most of the technology you see in Science Fiction would either be impossible to make, different than it would appear in Science Fiction, or simply inefficient to make if we had the technology to do so. Also, a common theme of Science Fiction is that society stays the same or changes very little (compared to what is expected), even with the revolutionary advances in almost all fields of science. This is the opposite of what is seen again and again in history.
