It's not bad, at least IMO. Very capable and resourceful female character. And it's got Weir's trademark scientific minutiae. Lunar related of course.
make sure he picks up the tab. i hear he likes to make others pay for lunch.
I will ask him next time we hang out.
yeah, but can he code?
I forget what the moon treaty set out for rules in that regard. I will have to look that up.

I for one welcome our Musk overlord!
i’m fine with us going to the moon and mars, but only if resources discovered are free for all the people. and not just owned by some dude that rhymes with corn husk
Say, why put a moonakin on the rocket this time instead of some actual people? What happened, did our balls drop off?

In honor of the launch people should read Andy Weir's second novel Artemis. It didn't get much attention since it was sandwiched between The Martian and Project Hail Mary. According to IMDb Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are set to direct an adaptation. But it looks like it might be lost and wandering around in development hell.
I am hoping that with the tech today, people can follow the entire mission,, keeping an eye on a mission vehicle the entire time, see it approach the moon and then land etc., and we can finally put that shit to rest.
Imagine being a person that thinks its easier to fake the moon landing instead of just going to the actual moon. Must be some really tiring mental gymnastics.
