Science fiction is just the long way around to the same destination.

Fantasy: "Furries are real"
Science fiction: "The Federation used technology Captain Kirk stole from the Romulans to genetically engineer furries into existence"

Why? You wanna make out? The whole thing is written like a fairy tale. There's a young man in a far away kingdom who seeks out a wizard to help him save a princess. They meet interesting characters along the way who give them tools that they need, and eventually do save the princess, and the kingdom, though the wizard must sacrifice himself to do so.

It depends on whether my hair is short or long at the time.

So like when it's Mark Hamill's original hair from "Star Wars" in 1977 changed when they "remastered" his hair by cutting it shorter for the theatrical re-release of "Star Wars IV: A New Hope" in anticipation of the prequel trilogy? Jesus, I suddenly feel old.

That's one way to put it, but I was just memeing a bit.

Yeah. Clarity went out the window there for a second. But it's not completely unintelligible. George Lucas digitally cut Mark Hamill's hair for the remaster of Star Wars (now called A New Hope.) He went from a long 70's bowl cut with fringe to a shorter bowl cut. The change was subtle, and yet, we all noticed at the time. I've got some thirty year old magazines around here describing the process, because such alterations were novel at the time.

Science fiction is using technology to solve some issue and evaluating how that changes human behaviors, specifically relating to politics. The spectrum of hard to soft sci fi is just how many physics buzzwords the encapsulate the maguffin that drives the whole story.

Fantasy, with or without the word "space" in front of it, is about dudes with awesome swords killing the bad people and looking dope while doing it. The choice is obvious.
