Many successful genre-bending stories are essentially one type of story in the setting of another. For instance, the original _Star Wars_ is a fairy tale in space, and the early Harry Potter books are detective stories with a fantasy setting. So if you enjoy writing thrillers, but want to try sci-fi, why not write a thriller set in space? Many thrillers are borderline sci-fi (or fantasy) anyway. If you're still getting hung up on the details, try a near-future sci-fi (essentially the present, with some new, not-yet-existing technology thrown in).
