Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lewis’s poem “Science-Fiction Cradlesong” as a view on what Science Fiction means. In it, Lewis says that: “Outer Space is a concept, not a place”. I read his poem as saying that it is our spirit, our need for meaning, our drive to be more and better, that summons up Outer Space.

Detailed explanation-2: -The theme of the poem is that we as a race are changing too fast. Reality have caught up with science fiction in terms of technology and medication.
