Hard to believe situations and deus ex machina. Ugh. Hopefully I won't think "these astronauts are really dumb" any more in the upcoming volumes.

Still really digging it. A lot. Good levels of everything - drama, fun, danger, wackiness. I adore the dad's shirts so much.

While I can't think of any particular reason for liking this one less than the rest, for some reason I was starting to lose interest at this point. Luckily the next book after this one was great.

h.o.l.y.c.r.a.p. What a volume! From beginning to end, this was stuffed full of greatness - to my favorite characters finally being selected as astronauts to Hibito finally landing on the moon and encountering some scary real-life stuff... I'm honestly on the edge of my seat. Also, the art is absolutely first-rate. Swoon.
