Lin, I think I understand what do you mean with the ADULT and YOUNG ADULT market in content-wise. 'Sex in the space' might sell very well to certain audiences, to exaggerate this point, there is a profitable market for 'homoerotic Spock and Kirk' science-fiction, and it certainly isn't mainstream science-fiction. (Note that the story still has to be plausible or it will not work and you won't get sales!)
If you take a step downm and think Hunter S. Thompson work and especially his most famous novella (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas). You can almost immediately see that the 'science-part' works extremely well wit the fiction. On top of everything, the story is very plausible, because it is based on the actual research.

Whoa, I just THOUGHT I was confused before. Now in addition to adolescence being 10-12 I've got homoerotic Spock being plausible andFear And Loathing being a "novella"...and based on "science". Ay!
