Detour: Titan-bound sci‑fi that prizes believability over flawless accuracy

Space.com chats with Detour co-authors Jeff Rake and Rob Hart about crafting a mind‑bending sci‑fi tale: a Titan mission turns into a homecoming where Earth isn’t what the crew left behind, and the writers emphasize making big ideas feel believable rather than 100% technically correct. They discuss collaborating across TV and novels, near‑future tech with plausible physics, designing the ship with artificial gravity, and leaning into grounded family drama to humanize ambitious concepts. Detour is available now.
