Space Cowboys

This is one of the most interesting genres, and it has become popular. When I really think about it, it doesn't initially make sense, but somehow it works wonderfully. A great example is the TV show Firefly. How do these two words fit together? How are cowboy hats worn on spaceships, with laser gun duels occurring on distant planets? Well, I think it's creative, and it has been making its mark in fictional genres. I am grateful for the space cowboy genre.
