Bambam, I can definately respect your knowledge of space and it's effects on the wear and tear of spacecraft. I'm also impressesed with your knowledge of authentic design. However, as some other posters have referred to above, I'm more interested in science fiction that I am in science. My own artwork if full of elves and knights and other fantasy characters, because they represent an escape from everyday life. Likewise, when I look through a gallery of spaceship images, I don't particularly care if something could "really happen" or not. You say that such and such can't happen, but in fact what you should be saying is that "such and such can't happen in this universe at this a time according to what we know right now." What about the future? What about an alternate reality? What about a universe where the laws of physics were different? It seems as if you just dismiss these ideas offhand. A lot of the art I like is "what if?" art. What if there were dragons terrorizing villages? What if there was a race war between dwarves and elves? What if we had Millenium Falcons that could travel at light speed? I often see art as an escape from reality, and evidently you don't. Just keep in mind that many people share my thoughts on this, and you'll begin to see why other pics get more interest than some of your "technically correct, realistic" pics...
