4 Stars! This rating/review is for the short story “One Basket” by C.C. Finlay. Excellent story. Reminded me of Artemis by Weir a little bit.

Quotes:
- “Nothing’s going to happen, we’ll be fine… But just because we’ll be fine doesn’t mean we won’t be careful. It’s the other way around—careful is what keeps us fine. Got it?”
- “Being trapped on Earth made people small—we had to move into space in order to grow.”
- “Anybody who doesn’t have their head up in the stars the first time they go for a walk has their head up their ass.”
- “You don’t have a choice. Sometimes all your eggs are in one basket. But then you better take good care of that basket.”
