New world building moment

It's a big fat book, broken into 3 parts that could each be a smallish book.

I'm in section 3 which takes place much later. Huge amount of "world building" (excuse the pun) about world building, reams of detail about how this or that system works.

I did enjoy the urgency and drama of the closing sections of the previous part.

Omg guys it’s ok there’s a man on the spacecraft and he’s gonna fix everything xxxx

There’s a lot of space equipment and I’m not sure we need to describe absolutely all of it
