They might use the tech, but they won't know the science behind it. And of course, the low-tech solutions… Gah! We need more <i>Firefly</i>!<br /><br />Hannah: Yes! Which I think is one of the reasons they use ion drive ships instead of something fancier. I also love that there's still extensive travel times between the moons and planets, because solar systems are <i>big</i>.Anassahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11554524219883438465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524956602794499164.post-54052335546803892562010-07-26T12:46:37.385-07:002010-07-26T12:46:37.385-07:00My favorite?

Actually the thing I like best about it, as a possible future, is that most of the end users have not a clue about the science involved - because I think that's probably a pretty accurate prediction. Partly because colonists and spacers, far from civilization/means of production, would still need to resort to low-tech solutions a lot I suspect. The foil insulation/heat deflector/solar film or whatever on the outside of the brothel in "Heart of Gold" is one example. Everything Kaylee has to do to fix the engine is another.Delphine Drydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404686237412306195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524956602794499164.post-2745986204410135052010-07-25T10:55:37.946-07:002010-07-25T10:55:37.946-07:00Browncoats respresent!

Hi, my name's Amanda, and ...OMG I LOVE FIREFLY. Hi, my name's Amanda, and I'm a Joss Whedon fangirl. :) <br /><br />Great post! There's a ton of great things in Firefly and Serenity, and I, too, love that the sci-fi aspect takes a backseat to everything else. But the sci-fi stuff is still really cool when it is explained. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12294516011395206412noreply@blogger.com
