This one was much better than [b:The Calculating Stars|33080122|The Calculating Stars (Lady Astronaut, #1)|Mary Robinette Kowal|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1539850192s/33080122.jpg|53735352] - at last something actually happens here. I still think there's significantly more detail here than anyone who's not an actual astronaut needs - it got to the point where I'd just skip over some of the jargon - but the story itself is better.
