Space the Final Frontier? Cowboys have been there and done that. Many of the earliest examples of American Science Fiction could be classified as Weird Westerns. The iconic image of the West has shaped Sci-Fi from the beginning. In fact, if it wasn’t for the classic Horse Operas, we might not have STAR TREK OR STAR WARS! We discuss examples of the Space Cowboy in books, films and television. If you enjoyed the television series FIREFLY, saddle up your atomic steed, strap on your laser guns and join us for a discussion of Sci-Fi Westerns. Of course Han Solo drew first, he was a gunslinger!
