Yeah, we prefer to see what we understand, even if it's incorrect. Fighting in space will probably be unlike anything we're familiar with now if it occurs.

What's funny is that even now 'dog fights' hardly occur anymore. We've reached the point where long-range radars can spot incoming planes and missiles can be fired before there is any hope of direct engagement. Maybe when non-US airforces clash there are still dogfights, but right now we've got such an advantage over every other airforce in the world that I don't think our pilots have done anything but training dogfights for decades.
