Oops.  I meant hard and soft.<br/><br/>Ah well, not a big deal.<br/><br/>Based on your description, though, yeah, soft sci-fi would be closer to my idea.  No colonies exist outside the Lunar Sphere yet but it's meant to be brighter and less gritty than most of the stuff out there.<br/><br/>All the real problems are meant to come from other planes, not from Earth itself.
