Thought the inclusion of SPACE! magic in this setting was a pretty good indicator of how soft this sci-fi setting is. Hell call it science fantasy if that floats your goat. If this is a dealbreaker for you, know that I will dearly miss your west-wing style political briefings.

Let me be clear: I do not give a single solitary flying flapjack about astrophysics, physics, or pretty much all forms of math. The ghost of Einstein himself could appear before me right now to tell me why 1 light minute doesn't hold up, and I would still find no flapjacks to give. Asimov's corpse could rise from the grave and explain that good science is an integral element of good science fiction, and there would still be no flapjacks. No force on this earth, short of a personal phone call or direct tweet from Elon Musk, can make me care about unimportant things like reality as it applies to a space opera.
