Status Updates From Rendezvous with Rama (Rama,...

I am enjoying it very much. A sedate piece of science fiction, with an emphasis on the science. Everything is procedural, logical, and grounded, with flashes of charm from the sparse characterisation offered to the crew of the Endeavour.
Hearing the word "spaceman" being used seriously throughout is very charming somehow.
Also, the main character is an admirer of Captain Cook, which gets points from me 👌
