@Frank Apisa,
I suppose you sci fi hoper types need an armanda'd enemy to work against. I'm here now.
I'm mildly interested in the universe, but mostly I can't see it (ok, the moon and sun) and will listen to science as it happens.
A friend and I got a flat tire in the Mohave around 3 am as trucks roared by. Long story, told here before (there was a second flat and her car was an old porshe, semi maintained), but my pal the driver (she was introducing me to skiing) exclaimed about the stars. I couldn't see them. That was my first clue that I am night blind. The first people to help us were some guys that noticed us in a coffee shop. Or maybe noticed her car. But she was blonde. Double interest. The trucks trucked on.
I wasn't all gung ho on sci fi before that, but still read some. I just have never been all that interested in fantasy of many types. Conjecture, sure. Give me a paragraph.
Hope for aliens?
Please, I have some wee hope for our earthlings and their stories.
Some of the earthlings will be needing food.
