A review by stiricide
Letter 44, Volume 1: Escape Velocity by Charles Soule
4.0
I like bits and pieces of this - it's engaging, for sure - but I also want to yell at it a whole lot. I particularly can't get over the idea that this book, written in 2015, taking place in 2015, still features a female scientist in zero g who 1) was either never given the option of having clothes that fit, or has such a hyperactive circulatory system that she is constantly running an internal temperature upwards of 98.6 degrees, even in space and 2) has long flowing hair.
Can we talk about this? There is nothing that needles me quite like dude artists who don't understand how long hair works. How it sits. Where it goes when the follicles decide they no longer want to be attached to your head. Karen Nyberg doesn't address all of this directly in this video, but it's the only astronaut video I've see where a long-haired astronaut doesn't have their hair firmly pulled back and out the ding dang way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOIj7AgonHM
All I can think about is all the tiny hairballs running around, gumming up the spaceship, ruining everything.
