The Beginning

In the beginning, there were the greats such as E.E. Doc Smith, Phillip K. Dick, H.G. Wells, Henry Beam Piper, Andre Norton, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Men such as these ushered in a new age of the imagination, an age where anything could be imagined. Shortly after that Star Wars and Star Trek hit, following the lesser known British television show Doctor Who. Star Wars and Star Trek were immediate hits. They each had millions of people watch them and immediately had massive fandoms that would be locked in a feud until humanity never existed or every Star Trek and/or Stars Wars copy was destroyed. (Personally, I love Star Wars and can tolerate Star Trek). After that sci-fi rocketed. There was no end to the amount of sci-fi books, movies, games, and television shows after that. Around that time Nasa took to the stars and the space race began. Millions of people around the world watched the rocket at Cape Canaveral take off, marking the beginning of a new age, and putting sci-fi fans that much closer to the realization of their greatest dream, for sci-fi to become a reality. Then sci-fi progressed and grew as it had until 1990, when the original Doctor Who was cancelled. Britain was shocked. But in 2005 the Doctor returned and took audiences away to more worlds of wonder and sci-fi terror. Recently the first private space company, Virgin Galatic, released news of a spaceport and tourism in space. Many people have been setting up blogs and creating concept spaceships, fascinating spaceship ideas for the future of humanity. If I do say so myself, which I do, I have been thinking of several ideas for ships and I think that I've got a few cool ones. Well, that was a brief history of sci-fi as well as a few updates. Thanks for reading, Aidan.
