Star Wars
I grew up with Star Wars, which is more like science fantasy. I enjoy reading the Japanese version of the novels, based on the movies.
Star Trek
I grew up with all the Star Trek shows. I know the shows are just a model of what the far future could be, as in a military spacecraft or space station. The real future could be entirely different, though.
JUICE
Europe's space agency ESA is investing hundreds of millions of euros on JUICE, the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer.
