Dude, it wasn't a coincidence that the golden age of sci-fi was also the golden age of space exploration! I've been catching up on Spider Robinson's podcasts (which I highly recommend, btw), and he speaks glowingly of the relationship between science and science fiction. He does speak somewhat disparagingly, however, of "the generation who grew up reading Harry Potter instead of Robert Heinlein." *grins*
