This had hitherto been a contest between the sci-fi future and the fantasy past

I also think of it as interior space/dragon and exterior space/space, though? Like space is gonna make us as we know "us" obsolete, or so different that we won't know where we came from. (I was thinking the other night while wringing out laundry about what a world without gravity or with very weak gravity would be like, and realized the differences in how we would live were eclipsed by the greater differences in what would have evolved as "human" in the first place.)
Whereas dragons are gonna show you what was already in you that you didn't even know about; primal, secret things.

"Some legends even speak of the dragons being a comet from space and this is definitely another additive to this scenario due to the fact that comets usually accompany fire."

I feel like space would only be palatable if FTL travel was provided. otherwise it'd be a BIG BORE.

xp - And then what, a dragon? Everything is a journey, you will never get there.

think about all the space pollution space travel would bring - what if we changed the universe from a red shift universe to a blue shift universe because people were choosing mass produced spaceliners from betelguese V instead of artisanal, locally sourced cruiseships from alpha centauri?

Outside of a dragon, space is a man's best friend; inside of a dragon, no one can hear u scream.
