This is a neat little novella written as a transmission from a long-term space exploration mission back to the citizens of earth. I loved the way this was written. The prose is beautiful, the ideas are interesting, and each character gets a chance to shine despite the short length.
The ending didn't quite work for me and there was a portion around the third planet they visited that dragged a bit, but I would still highly recommend this.
