Pretty solid, well written, a couple points are not mentioned yet and a couple of his “sticklers” are not that relevant to me

Ouch—when men write 1st person style as women (or girls)…

Two things that Varley disappointingly never mentions: 1) fine dust/sand 2) smaller horizon/view. Big shock to me bc he’s so technical with other things, and also because Mars is so cool for having a smaller field of vision. All in all, Kim Stanley Robinson’s Red Mars trilogy is the hold standard (not bradbury or heinlein sorry)

Fun enough, definitely seeing at this stage the YA style, and understanding more why Varley went w/it—light-hearted, very much tuned to youthful perspectives

Still disappointed that Varley with all his logistical imagination has yet to remark on the smaller horizon of Mars

Shocked (disappointed) that Varley has not mentioned the smaller horizon of Mars, or remarked on the frigid air (even though they're wearing suits). It's gone a little too incredible, especially with how easily they landed on Mars, there basically has been little-to-no tension or drama or suspense. So much stuff could go wrong and yet nothing has.,..

Gonna try to finish today: apparently I'm overdue at the library (oops). Loving this story though, yea it's incredible, but fun, and I doubt Varley meant for this to be taken seriously.

The author obviously had heaps of fun, imagining, and putting this book together, especially a do it yourself manual on getting to Mars, of course, in a fantastical way.

What a treat to read! Feel sorry for the generations to come who’ll have completely phased out reading (of books). Let’s face it: Schools are training kids to forget about books and to embrace ipads.
