Anyone know if the program in this book, in which young people are recruited to spend their lives traveling through space in a rocket, is anywhere close to existing in real life? Because I’m interested.
I’d like to be vaulted out of the atmosphere, if possible.
Did this drag for me in the middle? Yes. Did the friendships and characterizations kind of stray away from what I would call “realistic” or even “pleasant and/or believable to read about”? Indubitably.
But overall, this was such a creative and unique read. And really beautifully written.
That’s all I have to say.
Can I get off this planet now?
Bottom line: I will think about this book a lot, both because it’s a good book and because it’s existence-departure goals.
------------
my 100th read of 2020 😎
and it was a good one!
review to come / 4 stars

how to make me want to read a book:
- mention stars in the title
- that's it
(thanks to the publisher for the ARC. oops)

"Indubitably' is a great word, that I love to brag about knowing because well, as sad as this may sound, I have to make the most of my insignificant accomplishments ;)

Hi Emma, I know of a space company called Copenhagen Suborbitals who are getting close to sending people into orbit. To get around laws in the Netherlands they launch their rockets from a floating launch pad that’s out at sea.
