Pretty darn good! It had everything I like in a sci-fi. Dragged at times. Had eye-roll-worthy attempts at humor sometimes. Kind of a masterclass in setback writing. I particularly liked the mix of POV journal writing and narrative bits. Not much more to say about this one. I would've liked some Earth resolution at the end.
