Like the contrast between the "logical" rebellion (Mäkinen/Méndez) and Harper’s spiritual/intuitive connection to the Moon. She needs them for the mission, but they don't actually respect her reality. Also, that flashback to the break-in explains so much about her current edge. Cool stuff.

Thank you reading and sharing your thoughts again. That's an astute observation about the rebellion debate and gets to the heart of a key environmental theme of the story: too often so called 'developed' nations use logical, economical arguments to justify their actions, which are at odds with what 'feels' right.

Oh you are so right! Strangely, I’m writing about just that right now: a three-parter about Humanity’s self-destructive nature, called The Trouble with Paradise. First part should be up by next Sci-Friday…

Awesome. Will look out for it!
