I would disagree that we haven't gotten a sci-fi title yet in the New 52--I'd say just about all the Superman family of books were, as well as most of the GL books, Stormwatch, and Voodoo. I think a better description is that this is their first attempt at a purely cosmic book outside of the GL-books/not running point for an upcoming Geoff Johns event.

Anyway, it's Giffen doing cosmic, so I'm sure it's going to be hella awesome.

I mean "hard" sci-fi. Space opera. Many super-heroes have some element of science fiction, but are a distinct sub-genre, and one which is not a "stretch" for DC's publishing.

Well, I would say Voodoo definitely counted as military science fiction mixed in with aliens and cloning.
