,„One proposed answer is the Great Filter, which says that a very hard “barrier” in the step-by-step development from early life to advanced, spacefaring civilizations makes detectable extraterrestrial life extremely rare.“

In the penultimate episode of Lanterns, we finally spend some time in space—but as @gavia.bsky.social writes, "Everything alien is kept at arm’s length in this show."

Read her critiques of Lanterns' uneasy genre balance, shying away from sci-fi, but not willing to commit to mystery or thriller:
Lanterns: Inside the Failsafe
In episode 7, Hal’s murder investigation picks up speed and the show makes a welcome pivot to Green Lantern’s spacefaring roots.

In science fiction written in the 1940, computers run on vacuum tubes and data is stored on tapes.
These days, I've stumbled on SF where spacefaring people in the far future have data pads.
Come on, even 1980s cyberpunk had direct brain interfaces.

... collapse of state authority does not lead to ruin, but rather clears the path for a neo-feudal, borderless future where societal organisation is mediated entirely by corporate technological platforms and spacefaring oligarchs.

I have not drawn this jock rabbit since 2018 and Dr. Yipler is from a homebrewed PvP spacefaring RPG as a psychiatrist-turned-terrorist (I won). Taking Yipler out of his actual setting is odd.

A spacefaring corporation harvesting poopbags from the Apollo missions for nefarious purposes is so Arthur C. Clarke
As yet, there is no permit process or authority whose job it is to assess research proposals - or commercial proposals - to remove and study heritage materials. It might be a corporation which retrieves the sample. Will they honour the Treaty obligation - for the interests and benefit of humanity? 🧪

Data centers are an empty canvas on which people can express their anxieties about job precarity, an unfair economy, surveillance, doom-scrolling slop, climate disaster, spacefaring billionaires, enshittification, and any number of other grievances that often feel beyond our capacity to control.
After the Data Centers - Dissent Magazine
Data center opponents have assembled a potent political force. But without a more expansive vision, there is a risk that this techlash could be co-opted and fizzle out.

Le Guin's Hainish Cycle has numerous holes in it; it remains some of the best SF ever written because she concerned herself less with filling out her spacefaring setting with complex worldbuilding and more on human relationships.

"Romanscifi" sounds like it should be the genre where Imperial Roman culture ends up spacefaring (which, IIRC, shows up in like a *bunch* of ST:TOS episodes)

Star Trek portrays humanity as an egalitarian spacefaring race offering friendship and peace. The tension between good and evil is portrayed, but it seems to exist beyond Earth. My observations of our planet and its inhabitants contradict this expectation. I hope I am wrong.

Last week, Reactor Magazine published a piece by Dr. @anaklimchy.bsky.social, author, literary scholar, and editor of our book "From the Earth to the Moon: Annotated for the Spacefaring Age", on the nuance behind Verne's writing. Read more from the article here: reactormag.com/misunderstan....

Sci-fi written by cishet authors can be so jarring. Like you’re telling me you dreamt up a whole universe of aliens, but every species has separate bathrooms for men and women? The sentient ooze is a lady ooze? The spacefaring tentacle monarch is in a heterosexual marriage? Okay Matt.

Earth's closest alien life probably isn't very advanced, says new study
The sheer scale of the universe strongly suggests Earth isn’t its only life-hosting planet. But do distant worlds harbor the types of advanced spacefaring civilizations depicted in science fiction, or just far simpler microbes? Astrobiologists consider a planet’s age when searching for extraterrestrials. The standard logic implies that older planets had a longer time to develop advanced lifeforms. But while Earth is billions of years younger than many nearby exoplanets, one research team isn’t particularly worried about any impending visits from hyperadvanced aliens. As they recently explained in the International Journal of Astrobiology, their reasoning is more about plants than the planets themselves. “Physicist Enrico Fermi famously asked, given the high likelihood of intelligent life in the galaxy, ‘Where are they?’” said study co-author and Northern Arizona University ecoinformaticist Chris Doughty. “This paper suggests that our exoplanet stellar neighborhood may be quiet because most Earth-like planets near us are likely to be evolutionarily behind us and still at the microbial stage.” Doughty and his colleagues base their argument on how much cumulative photosynthesis can hypothetically occur on exoplanets with more hostile conditions. It’s not that life couldn’t develop on these worlds, but it would take a much longer timeframe to...

Speaking of that, you can also always appeal to new tech AND to warp speed scale recalibration. But if someone wanted a no-prize, damage to subspace could be why the 32nd century is largely limited to the same basic spacefaring technology as the 24th.
