Science fiction is the fictional exploration of the unknown.
Science fiction is the search for definition of man and his status in the universe which will stand in our advanced but confused state of knowledge (science), and is characteristically cast in the Gothic or post-Gothic mould.
Science Fiction is literature about the future, telling stories of the marvels we hope to see--or for our descendants to see--tomorrow, in the next century, or in the limitless duration of time.

 Science Quotes
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

 Cornell News: Science book sales
That is why, he says, best-selling books about science -- whether the subject is space or sex -- can make their authors rich and famous -- whereas the "influential" book's major accomplishment is in educating the public.
But despite the alluring subject matter found in some science best sellers and award winners, the importance of science books generally has been overlooked when compared to the authority of the scholarly journal in the world of science.
Lewenstein identifies four categories of science books, although, he says, they blur into each other: books important in public culture (prize winners and best sellers); books that are influential because of their content; textbooks; and books used in daily science.

O Logic: born gatekeeper to the Temple of Science, victim of capricious destiny: doomed hitherto to be the drudge of pedants: come to the aid of thy master, Legislation.
Every science that has thriven has thriven upon its own symbols: logic, the only science which is admitted to have made no improvements in century after century, is the only one which has grown no symbols.
Every other science, even logic, especially in its early stages, is in danger of evaporating into airy nothingness, degenerating, as the Germans say, into an arachnoid film, spun from the stuff that dreams are made of.

 Scifilm -- Reviews, DESTINATION MOON (1950)
DESTINATION MOON literally launched the 50s science fiction movie craze, which in turn was reinvented by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clark in 1968 and again by George Lucas in 1977.
While science fiction would have undoubtedly experienced a revival with or without DESTINATION MOON, the scientifically accurate, "documentary" style of the film set a high bar against which all later outer-space adventure films would be measured.
The basis of the movie was Robert Heinlein's 1947 juvenile science fiction novel Rocket Ship Galileo about a team of teenage boys and their engineer mentor who build a rocket and travel to the moon.
