If you haven’t already, read yourself some Arthur C Clarke. He wrote speculative futurism based on known science. If you pick up later editions of some of his books, they’ll sometimes include forewords by him going over the effect on the story and premises therein of evolutions in scientific understanding that happened since first publishing.
I’ve read several books of his actually, namely the space Odyssey series, Rama series, the songs of distant earth, and childhood’s end, tho I didn’t like that last one as much as the former ones.

His stories are also hopeful and filled with wonder at the universe in a way that I feel is lacking in a lot of contemporary sci-fi.
