I’m not sure how many folks who post here also are fans of the DCC rpg, but I thought I’d mention that DCC has some scifi elements and not just fantasy.
A game called Void Hunters, the DCC game of Seventies Science Fiction is in development and should reach kickstarter sometime this spring, if the Real World doesn’t interfere too much.

Also, new fanzine called Crawljammer is just launching.

Also, a fellow named Jim Wampler is running something he calls “Mutant Crawl Classics” at GaryCon. I don’t know anything about this, but it sounds fun.

THE MUSEUM AT THE END OF TIME:
THE GREAT STONEHELL LAZER MASSECRE:
A game called Void Hunters, the DCC game of Seventies Science Fiction is in development and should reach kickstarter sometime this spring, if the Real World doesn’t interfere too much.
The default setting is focused on the horrors of space exploration, including isolation, alien terrors, and weird quirks of science and nature that defy man's understanding of the universe. The rules will follow closely in the gritty mold of DCC and reinforce the notion that space is a cold, lonely, uncaring thing that will kill the unprepared, and, when faced with an infinite variety of things that can kill you, it's practically impossible to be totally prepared.
Adventures would largely be based around sandbox style exploration of the universe, discovering the remains of other civilizations that died out long before man took his first steps into the universe, fighting against alien super-predators that are bred in the darkest and harshest environments, and salvaging the remains of lost expeditions that fell prey to unknown forces or the predations of their fellow men. Basically, DCC In Spaaace! But there will information for setting up Feudal Dark Sci-Fi settings (like Dune or 40k) and War Amongst the Stars settings (like Ender's Game or Starship Troopers)

Also, new fanzine called Crawljammer is just launching.
Crawljammer is all about space operatic fantasy adventures in outer space and on alien planets, in the spirit of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Lin Carter and Thundarr and the New Gods and Leigh Brackett and Andre Norton and Killraven and more...

THE MUSEUM AT THE END OF TIME:
Your band of Level-0 humans, mutants, sentient animals, and walking plants have set upon the Rite of Passage in hopes of becoming full-fledged Rovers for your tribes. Venturing through hothouse jungle and across blast glass and desert you soon find the ruins of a green porcelain palace - a treasure trove of ancient artifacts sufficient to satiate desires both subtle and gross. You'll soon rule your tribes, if only you can survive “The Museum at the End of Time.
THE GREAT STONEHELL LAZER MASSECRE:
Play the Michael Curtis adventure that rocked NTRPG Con in 2013. Your merry band of mutant murder hobos have fallen through an unexpected Star Gate and landed in the bowels of Stonehell Dungeon. There’s a way back home somewhere in these dark, dank passages, with just one little problem standing in your way. There are a few hundred strange mutant pig-men and some other new friends who would like to kill you.
