This essay will attempt to define the genre, chronicle the history

modern era, this kind of exploration is possible, and only became realistically attainable recently. However, humanity with its rightfully diverse opinions has set blockades in its way to prevent this future of spacefaring. In fiction, science fiction, and even non-fiction TV shows, books, movies, et cetera, space exploration is not a matter of debate, but instead a matter of fact.
