Sci fi mines

so im in Havoc along with Alex and Chris Caldow, Ben Keswick and Tom Ritchie.
we have initial ideas of creating a sci fi mine and as such im currently trying to research what inspires sci fi art and film.
so far what i have realised is that sci fi changes continually as it is only the belief of the future from ones current perspective, in other words my idea of a science fiction mine in the future now would be incredibly different to say in 10 years time.

this can be seen by simply looking back at some older sci fi stuff to see what i mean for example the star wars saga new and old with a clear cut design difference.
