This was a nice read. Nothing really happens, and the characters are not a central part of what this book is really about; it is about the beauty of the Earth, and of humanity. It documents the journey of the International Space Station over the course of 24 hours, and the 16 orbits that it completes. The prose is beautiful and considerate. However, I don't think I could have read much more of this, and it is a short book. It started to feel a bit repetitious.
