Well, there's a really major cultural difference. In my world, science fiction* comes in books, which literate people actually read - and any purported SF story that included winged space fighters doing banking maneuvers, and explosions making noise in vacuum, would be fodder for the wood stove.


*And fantasy, which includes most of the non-romance vampire stuff.
