A cool science fiction that generally takes place in outer space. Generally, space opera places more emphasis on the characters, the plot and the adventures rather than on the technology. The space adventures are also normally romanticized, melodramatic, "swash-buckling" and epic.
Examples of space opera:
-The "Green Lantern" comics by Geoff Johns (before his writing turned into crap)
-Jim Starlin's tales involving Thanos and Adam Warlock for Marvel Comics
-Jeff Lemire's "Trilium" series for Vertigo comics
-Rick Remender's "Fear Agent" series
-Various Image Comics series such as "Descender", "Saga", and others
-Star Wars
-Star Trek
-The anime Cowboy Bebop
-The anime Heroic Age

Get the Space Operamug. by ninja113 October 19, 2010
Get the Space Ninjamug. Phencyclidine (PCP) used on Crack cocaine. Space balls will fuck up yo day. Rarely seen, because most of the population thinks the experience is horrible, dangerous, and terrifying, and a good crack head thinks its a waste of cook up.
I figured it would be a good idea to try a space ball one time in my life, but now I'm not allowed to enter Canada for six years, and I have to stay 100 ft away from all Mennonite churches.

Get the space ballmug. often a rich kid or trust funder who moves to your area (especially nyc, la, big cities etc) from a cow poke town and takes up your space, driving rent and all costs of living up. these are especially despised hipsters who start repping the city they've invaded as if it were there own.
ex: Paul moved to brooklyn to attend Pratt, he began saying he was from "BK all day" while his parents paid exorbitant rent so he could hang in nyc, what a fucking space invader!
