I see what you're saying. You could call us a cautious Hard SF, although we don't think a writer has to stick with any .
Re: authors, we're just throwing SF in a pot and coming up with conclusions--so no particular author is under attack.
You know what? I just realized why you thought we were against space travel. That Calvin and Hobbes cartoon! I just meant to exaggerate--just as our position had been exaggerated (that way we hate to have fun, or whatnot).
Anyway, I can see you thinking, "They're against going to Mars?"
So I realize that almost all of these misunderstandings are based on unanticipated interpretations of subtext.
