For beginners, try the Fate settings, there are quite a few. I'd look at Diaspora and Bulldogs! But just bare bones Fate Accelerated can go a long way already. And nothing is simpler, as long as you haven't got stuck in DnD or Gurps already. Because it's all meta rules.

To just test out a group or fill a quick night definitely play a one shot of Lasers & Feelings.

Lady Blackbird could be interesting. It's a handful of short scenarios that can be played many times. They never go the same way twice.

DnD in space: Traveller
Does ANYTHING badly: Gurps (still a great resource)
So bad it hurts: 40k
so forget those.

The FFG Star Wars RPGs seem to be working. A bit gimmicky but alright: Edge of the Empire for smugglers, Age of Rebellion for rebels, Force and Destiny for padawans.

Numenara might be worth looking into. Its rules aren't too intimidating and the setting is interesting.
