I read tons of space opera when I was a teenager and I loved it, but the truth is that none of this makes sense: it's all about entertainment and that's it. It's not a practical description of what could be than Pirate of the Caribbeans is a description of the lives of 17th century's pirates.

I still disagree :)

Have you read Delta-V or a summary of it at least?

The 'opera' part is just about common human/political stupidity, the space and technology parts don't seem to be.

Which ors.deaken.dev conveniently leaves out, at the moment, like empty geopolitics :)
