Starship based Modern RPG?

Hey! I love the new D&D 5e, Dungeon World, and Mutants & Masterminds, but I'm trying to get a sci-fi campaign together. I haven't done much in the RPG scene for some time, and so I'm hoping someone knows a popular, easy to get into (not rules heavy) starship/technology/futuristic system people use around here? I used to love D20 modern/future. Something close to that would be awesome, or something like %e, but scifi. Thanks!

I don't know how well this lends itself to long-term campaigns, but I had a blast playing this in a pick-up game: <a href="http://www.onesevendesign.com/laserfeelings/" rel="nofollow">http://www.onesevendesign.com/laserfeelings/</a> You are the crew of the interstellar scout ship Raptor . Your mission is to explore uncharted regions of space, deal with aliens both friendly and deadly, and defend the Consortium worlds against space dangers. Captain Darcy has been overcome by the strange psychic entity known as Something Else , leaving you to fend for yourselves while he recovers in a medical pod. What happens next? Play to find out! It is a free game, rules light (everything fits on one 8.5x11 PDF sheet), and reasonably flexible. Give it a look-over! ^_^
Hey that is pretty cool. Thanks! I'll save it for another time, because I have a sort of plot already in mind. I might have to try to come up with my own sci fi classes or something.
Being familiar with D20 modern and M&M, you'd probably like True20. It's essentially D20-lite, using most of the basic D20 rules but pulling back on the structure a bit so that the rules get out of the way of the story. There's a section near the end of the core rulebook on scifi/high-tech stuff, with supplemental rules for alien races, high-tech gear, and various other stuff you'd expect to come up in a scifi game.
