The White House Wants To Use Science Fiction To Settle The Solar System

I expect this will be even more transformative than SIGMA.

This fits with a growing trend within the science fiction community itself - recently released books such as The Martian by Andy Weir, Seveneves by Neil Stephenson and Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson are each deeply focused on optimistic futures, rather than dystopian ones.

Huh. Not how I would describe the last two books.
