Abstract
Humans have always been pioneers. Discovering, exploring and conquering new places and frontiers is an inherent part of the story we tell about ourselves. This narrative has fueled both personal aspirations and multi-national ones, often enlisting thousands of work-hours and billions of dollars in budget. Now, as we stand on the brink of exploring space (the elusive "final frontier") what can our past teach us about our future? How can history and science fiction work together to illustrate possible, believable and useful futures within the field of space exploration with the models of the pioneers who came before us as a template?
